Apparently you can also run it with WINE since at least ubuntu 11.04, but I'm not sure if device updating via usb will work this way:

Keep in mind that if you purchased Tom-Tom dataset to use in the gps device, you can probably use it with MapFactor Navigator on any Android devices too:

Also, if that is acceptable risk to you, there seems to exist some alternative firmware for tomtom gps devices:
https://en.discussions.tomtom.com/map-installation-43/tomtom-home-linux-version-92435/index2.html
"I suggest you to use ttmaps. It's an other gps tools that can be easily installed on tomtom device from a linux PC.
The hard stuff is to use openstreetmap data on tomtom device because osm format must be converted using a not-so-easy tools chain. "
VirtualBox is a proprietary software, is it not? The Extension Pack install asks for some EULA.
I do not want to get it like THIS[drive.google.com] or THAT[drive.google.com], but are most games, even the deep indie titles, not proprietary in the end? I mean, how far can one go to be FUSS?
EDIT:
TomTom Home for Linux? The thread is over six years old and the project is still widely unknown, rather forgotten. I would hesitate to trust it as a consumer and a driver.
For the WINE, when I saw it, I thought OMG no.
I guess the separate drive with WindowsOS on it is unavoidable. Unless that V-Box.
unfortunately, it is indeed common that official software for gadgets is not provided on linux... same with smartphones
each gadget dev launches their software for windows, most with no support for linux at all and closed source solutions... then linux devs reverse engineer some support for them, mostly with little to no help from gadget devs
@Triple you should give that a try then, with a fresh version of WINE you probably have your best chance to avoid maintaining a full OS just for such a sporadic use case
if it works it is an unintrusive and easy to run as can be without you incurring any new hardware costs...
maybe you'll have to configure wine a bit to make it run properly, at worse it doesn't run, but at least you tried?
after a bit of pain from that initial setup you just click the software icon on the start menu and it opens like if it was any other linux software
