Googlesat images should work.  Perhaps some of the other map servers
will work too.  There is a script called gpsfetchmap.pl that is used to
download images for use with gpsdrive.  Check out how it works.

Before you ask Google streets doesn't work and probably never will as
things are more focused towards openstreetmap.

What version of gpsdrive are you using?

No,  at the moment there is no way to generate a route.  One of the new
features being intergraed into gpsdrive is openstreetmap which may one
day allow for automatic routing but at the moment that seems a little
way off yet.
