Disco Matt:
I never understood ME at all. It was sheer unadulterated rubbish and a downgrade from 98SE.

all goes a bit pete-tong when application under the emulator have to use hardware, serial ports , usb to serial converters. Memorymap for example as something relevant to a lot of mudclub members is classified on the WINE appDB as running under wine with a bronze or silver rating - meaning severe problems. None of the tests include interaction with a GPS!(edit: opps found 1 test working with a geko) Not saying it's not possible just in my experience when you hit snags in linux getting passed them is beyond norm use, takes research and understanding and as far from plug and play as you can possibly get (like I said in previous post life is too short to geek out on linux). I'll come back to linux when it's as finished as XP.
Please insert a valid native linux navigation application on par with memorymap that legally use OS maps <HERE>
Thrasher:
It'll come ... I mean Tom-Tom is linux based ........ there are some things out there, but obviously nothing commercial at this time, mainly due to the fact that the maps MUST be purchased.
