Thanks Paul, found it, downloading now. 270Meg ? gasp !

I actually got gpsdrive working using world_boundaries_m.dbf and
world_boundaries_m.shp from google souces. With them in place the binary
loads OK, tells me mapnik is not working and then does all I want.

As I don't seem to be able to work out what mapnik is for anyway I
figure I can live without it, especially if it needs a quarter of gig of
data ;-)

Maybe gpsdrive needs to decide it does not really need mapnik when it
cannot find mapnik present, be better than falling over ?

Thanks for your help.
