Hello, Everyone I know that I can just go drive to a computer that has Windows installed on it and get this over with, but I shouldn't have to do that... I have new Garmin nuvi65LM GPS and of course the "GarminExpress" updating program that they force you to use only runs on Windows and Mac. I tried installing the Windows version using Wine, with no luck. I then successfully installed GarminExpress in a virtual machine of Windows 7 that I have installed on Virtual Box. When it tries to detect my device, it says that it can't...
Which version of VirtualBox? The one on the Fedora repos doesn't support access to USB devices since that requires a non-free license. You need the free-to-use one from virtualbox.org (they have a repo file you can install for updates). And of course enable the specific device from the VB panel.

Hi,
I've got an old Garmin for the car & an eTrex for in my pocket, I update them both from Open Street Maps. The devvices come up without problem & the chosen maps are just copied to the SD card.
