Digital Map Shop on Linux

The software that comes with my GPS, the Aventurer 2800, is Windows only. It does work with Wine, but there is a caveat.

If you're planning to use MMNav.exe on Linux (or MacOS) using Wine you need to check your Wine version. This thread has the details, but here's a summary. Contacting the Digital Map Shop works in Wine 1.0rc3 and 1.1.5 but not 1.1.28. Logging in on 1.1.28 causes the application to lock up.

For the technical among you, when it locks it has a socket to the https port on memorymap.com. There is a few bytes (~100?) in the receive queue and the socket is in the CLOSE WAIT state.
