Hi there,
I read the mail but was unable to send emails at that moment and forgot
to reply later.
Having the same problem here, I can second the failure. But on my system
it is NOT gpsdrive's fault but mapnik's (using 0.6.0 here). I don't know
what I changed that breaks mapnik but using the
"generate_image.py"-script from OSM, I get blank (grey) images. So I
know where to search and I know we as gpsdrive-devs don't need to search
the code for errors since the mistake is outside that scope.

Be sure to hear from me when I got mapnik working again.

Jannis
