Thanks, Joerg. Any idea on whether or not the SSID names can be displayed 
along with the icons?

As a follow-up to my previous findings, I installed Ubuntu 8.04 and ran 
through the manual compile on the wiki. When I fired up gpsdrive, mapnik 
displayed as expected. So I decided to install the Kubuntu-desktop package 
and test it under there. Gpsdrive fired up and used mapnik as expected. So 
personally, I have no idea what the issue was unless it was something 
specific to the Kubuntu distribution since I was able to recreate it several 
times. The only extra steps required for the manual compile was installing 
libdotconf-dev in order to be able to compile and install 
speech-dispatcher-0.6.7 since the current svn requires it. Ross, can you 
update the wiki when you get a chance?

Thanks.
