[Swlug] TomTom Start 60 / MyDriveConnect and Linux.

[Julian Hall]

Hi All,

In Windows I use the TomTom MyDriveConnect software to update my TomTom 
Start 60 as I have free updates for life (yes well we'll see what their 
definition of 'life' is, but anyway).  The problem is the MDC software 
won't work under WINE and despite the fact you can of course log into 
the website in Firefox as you can in Windows, it won't detect the device 
to allow updates as it requires MDC to work.  You can't download the 
updates as you used to be able to do and then just copy them to the SD 
card because this one doesn't have an SD card.. it's all onboard memory 
and they won't let you just download the files anyway.  TomTom's 
Customer Service are conspicuous by their absence to all requests on the 
forums - including their own website support - to develop MDC for Linux.

Linux distro: Mint 16
WINE error info - I haven't included the entire stack dump as I didn't 
think it would help:

Unhandled exception: unimplemented function 
KERNEL32.dll.SetVolumeMountPointW called in 32-bit code (0x7b83ac5f).

Any suggestions gratefully received.
