Has anyone managed it? My system log shows it detecting as SDA but when I try to mount /dev/sda1 etc it can't recognise the file system.
Linux fan base must be awfully small here... no reply for over 4 months?!
I'll let you know in a week or so, when I receive mine!!!
Do you run Mapsource successfully under wine? v6.13.5 seems to install well:

(never mind the typo in the version number)

I wonder which distro you're using?
With Ubuntu it just works, plug it in and you get two drives appear on your desktop.

I didn't catch this first time round...
It happens that I know linux and may be able to help.
Linux (can be) a pain for mounting usb mass storage, or any other devices for that matter.
I cannot remember if drivers are needed for windows, or is it mass storage (could find out later when home from business trip..)
If it requires drivers, then your stuffed!
If you just need to mount it, I can run through ways of doing this!
As this is 4 months old, I won't go to the effort unless it's still needed?

Gareth.

Garmin support in Linux
You need the Garmin usb/serial driver, which is provided in the kernel. Check if it is enabled:
If it is compiled as a module (=m) then you'll need to make sure it's loaded:
should tell you. If it's not loaded, then
should load it. If the driver is not enabled (=n) then you'll need to enable it (static or as module) and recompile your kernel.
Hope this helps other users who want to access their Garmin devices in Linux.

Just tried my OpenSUSE Live 10.3 distribution, and it worked fine without any tweaks. http://software.opensuse.org/
