TomTom Home on Linux

TomTom Home on Linux


Today I tried (again) to get my TomTom One GPS to connect to my linux system. And failed.

Experiment 1: Can the laptops gpsd read the device as a dumb GPS?
Well, no. GPSD cant locate the device at all. I suspect thats because the TomTom One isnt GPS dongle, its a full system on its own. And it doesnt know to pass-through the raw GPS data to simulate a dongle.

Experiment 2: Can TomTome Home 2.8 (for controlling the device, uploading new maps, etc) be installed on Ubuntu 11.10?
No. The available TTH 2.8 clients are for Win and OSX only.

Experiment 3: Can TTH 2.8 be installed on Ubuntu 11.10 using Wine?
Sadly, no. The install itself went poorly. On several attempts, only one was successful. Due to two bugs (some custom jiggery in the TTH does in the Windows Registry, and a bug with Wine support for USB) the device cannot be recognized, loaded, or interacted with.

Experiment 4: Can TTH 2.8 be installed on Ubuntu 11.10 using a Virtual Machine?
Yes. I use a Virtualbox XP VM. TTH 2.8 installed perfectly first time. The device, like all USB devices in VB, must be manually added in the VB Device" menu. After that, control of the device was perfect.

Its also blockbuster movie season, when theaters screen entertainment thats typically a little lighter in content and more technically dazzling than the award-oriented films shown in the colder, darker, shorter days of fall and winter. Accordingly, summer big-screen fun has come to belong to Disney, which releases an animated feature every year to coincide with the conditions that make it easy to spend an afternoon in an air conditioned movie house, often time and time again to see the same feature over and over.
