StreetDeck in Linux

For all you linux fans, I'm in the process of attempting to get StreetDeck (a windows in-car entertainment+navigation package) to work in linux, using wine.

Still having issues, but you can follow the slow progres at:

Awesome, have you been able to get just mappoint working under wine yet which I would assume would still be a prerequisite?

Why is mappoint a pre-requisite?
All it needs is the mappoint maps, not the mappoint software.

Anyway, haven't gotten there yet. Need to sort out the running of the main software first. I'll worry about the maps later.

I don't think it runs the mappoint executable per say, but I assume it still calls it through COM or something like that for routing at least. Anyway, keep us updated!
