My interest in this project is pretty casual and if it requires Wine or
Windows software I wont bother. This computer will boot Windows XP but
hasn't done so in a long while and I have never tried it with the GPS.
I did find some GPS related applications listed in Yumex and installed
whatever looked appropriate but I am still trying to find what I can do
with them if anything.
