There is now a Linux® version of TomTom Sports Connect. It has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. I just published the FAQ with a download link:

Really pleased to see Sports Connect on Linux. I was lucky it installed really easily on my desktop PC running Ubuntu 17.04.
Getting it working on my laptop was a little more difficult as Sports Connect depends on an old version of a library that is not part of Ubuntu 17.04
The following commands run before installing Sports Connect got things going:
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/215074266/libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/185267586/gstreamer0.10-plugins-base_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/185267581/libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i gstreamer0.10-plugins-base_0.10.36-2_amd64.deb

Im using ubuntu 18.04 and its still working, thanks for share this solution!

Hello,

Same here, since the latest Ubuntu upgrade to 19.04.

Thanks,

Olivier,
I had issues a while ago related to libgstream which I fixed then with the steps I listed in an earlier post. I do not know if those steps are still needed with the latest version of Tomtomsportsconnect on Ubuntu 19.04. I had no problems - possibly because I already had the changes. The only new "fix" I needed for 19.04 was "libssl1.0".
If you still have problems please message again or contact me via computething.co.uk

I have a second PC to upgrade so will try a fresh install on that for comparison,
Michael

Hi,

i've got problems with tomtom sport connect since i upgrade my system to Ubuntu Budgie 19.04.
All was fine under Ubuntu Budgie 18.10 but nothing works after reinstall on 19.04.
I have check the libgstream with Synaptic and all the libs have been updated in 19.04 and there is conflicts between old and new versions. I can't uninstall new ones because they are part of the system.

Can someone help me ?

Regards
Olivier

Ferry Michael thank you so much for your help.
Everything is alright now.

You are very helpful.

Regards
Olivier

Thank you so much for this! Works on 18.04.
I am so happy. The Windows part of my dual boot just died AGAIN. So it is very fortunate that I can sync and load track on my Linux distro.

Just for general info, if anyone else is having similar issues : On Gentoo, after an upgrade to nVidia drivers 440.44 the SportsConnect app failed to open with a "Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurFaceFormat" error. The fix was to rebuild the drivers with the "compat" USE flag set. This compat USE flag installs non-GLVND libGL for backwards compatibility. .

The link for the Linux installation has changed.

This link flies directly to the homepage..... weird?

Has anyone managed to run it on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS? The one of mine says "Connected" and then "We could not connect to your watch". I tried all the gstreamer and libssl packages and also reinstalled the tomtom app deb -- no luck.

To install from scratch on a fresh 20.04.1 LTS install I followed all @Ferry Michael 's instructions, with the addition of downloading multiarch-support_2.27-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb and installing that as one of the gstreamer libs needed it. The linux sports connect deb then installs ok.

Then in order to get the watch to connect I added ATTRS{idVendor}=="1390", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7475", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev" to tomtomsportsconnect.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ as I didn't find the same file as @Kujalantomppa had. I added that line from his post as the last line and restarted my machine and it all worked fine.

Thanks to @Ferry Michael (again) and to @Kujalantomppa thought that maybe this time it was an update too far but no!

Thanks a million, cromat! The only difference I can see in your description is running the app as root -- thank you for that hint (BTW, how did you get this? I couldn't find the logs anywhere)
