Can I use getamap on a Linux system?

It can be used on a linux system if you don’t mind using the patched version of wine recently created to enable Netflix to work (it didn’t work previously on Linux systems for the same Silverlight-related reason), in conjunction with the Windows version of Firefox. Googling around Netflix wine should show you the way.

But personally, I wouldn’t bother, except as an "exercise for the reader". There are lots of websites offering similar functionality without any of the need for this kind of pain.

getamap can’t be used using the Linux operating system and open source versions of Silverlight, such as Moonlight. You can still use the original Get-a-map service.
