there may be a solution:
I recently added some code to attach external routing modules to gpsdrive.
this was mainly designed for automatic route calculation, but it would be no 
problem, to provide a module that gets its data from any other source.
but as this one is very new, it will not be activated before the upcoming 2.10 
release.

sounds like friendsd really would be a good choice...
