[ gpsdrive ] Loop detected, please report!

[Ross Scanlon]

Thanks Paul and Guenther,

I did a bit of checking with this and found that it has to do with moving
the map when the position (gps or explore mode) gets to the edge of the
shown area.

Problem is it is not checking to see if a map is loaded before doing this
checking and so loops continuously until a map is loaded.

So I'll up load a minor patch shortly to svn which will only run the loop
if a map is loaded.

Cheers
Ross
