[ gpsdrive ] Building gpsdrive without Friendsd and kismet

[Joerg Ostertag (gpsdrive Tettnang/Germany)]

Hi,

In the long run I personally would love to see a solution close to 
mapnik(postgis). This way a user would only have to import osm data once and 
not twice: once for displaying and once for routing.
But for the first part we should stick with the solution easiest to implement.
