I did see an article somewhere about mounting the TomTom as a USB drive - ie plug it in to a linux computer with a usb cable and then overwriting the mapping files with the new ones you can download from TomTom.Hi All,In Windows I use the TomTom MyDriveConnect software to update my TomTom Start 60 as I have free updates for life (yes well we'll see what their definition of 'life' is, but anyway). The problem is the MDC software won't work under WINE and despite the fact you can of course log into the website in Firefox as you can in Windows, it won't detect the device to allow updates as it requires MDC to work. You can't download the updates as you used to be able to do and then just copy them to the SD card because this one doesn't have an SD card.. it's all onboard memory and they won't let you just download the files anyway. TomTom's Customer Service are conspicuous by their absence to all requests on the forums - including their own website support - to develop MDC for Linux.Linux distro: Mint 16WINE error info - I haven't included the entire stack dump as I didn't think it would help:Unhandled exception: unimplemented function KERNEL32.dll.SetVolumeMountPointW called in 32-bit code (0x7b83ac5f).Register dump: CS:0023 SS:002b DS:002b ES:002b FS:0063 GS:006bEIP:7b83ac5f ESP:0033cc14 EBP:0033cc78 EFLAGS:00200246( - -- I Z- -P- )EAX:7b826419 EBX:7b8af000 ECX:00000000 EDX:0033cda8 ESI:0033cda8 EDI:0033cdc4 System information: Wine build: wine-1.4.1 Platform: i386 (WOW64) Host system: Linux Host version: 3.8.0-34-generic Any suggestions gratefully received.
