This release can use NASA satellite images. There are some layout improvements. The GPS receiver can now be used directly by GpsDrive, so there is no need to start gpsd anymore (configurable). There are a lot of bugfixes and improvements.

"track" and "big-display" color are changeable. Support for Topo maps (USA maps only) has been added. There is better "Waypoints" status display. ".dsc" file support works again. Friends mode shows the selected units instead of km/h, and respects your timezone correctly. There are many bugfixes.

Project Description

Gpsdrive is a map-based navigation system. It displays your position on a
zoomable map provided from a NMEA-capable GPS receiver. The maps are
autoselected for the best resolution, depending of your position, and the
displayed image can be zoomed. Maps can be downloaded from the Internet with
one mouse click. The program provides information about speed, direction,
bearing, arrival time, actual position, and target position. Speech output is
also available.
