Hi! I'm currently working on a project to upgrade my car's display with NAV... Due to prohibitive high costs of oem solutions (and limited use except for nav), I decided to use a laptop, runnig that software... So, I already have MS Autoroute 2001 (european version). Against my expectations, this program runs fine with Wine release 20011004. However, the GPS Add-In doesn't work. I'm not completely certain, if it's the serial port (/dev/ttyS0, correctly configured according to all the docs I found) or the gps-dlls with cause the problem. Obviously, there are two different such add-ons. One intended for win95 and the other one for winnt40. At least the winnt40 version registers itself as service during installation, but I'm suspecting, that this dll/exe isn't executed in such a manner, that autoroute.exe can access it when it runs. Also, when you active the GPS function in AutoRoute, wine reports, that the ports (com, lpt) get initialized, but nothing else (ie. no file hadles, no baud-rates). And then, after a while, the application reports "no gps receiver found", as if it never saw anything on the serial ports. BTW: gpsd / gpsdriver or minicom all tell me, that the gps receiver is working ok... Perhaps someone here can help me debugging this stupid proggy, or point me to a gps utility, which (unlike gpsdriver) comes with complete maps, and route planning - which works under wine (if not native). Thanks a lot! Best regards, Richard
