google, hmm, it's not that I don't like it, but there's strange feeling about 
them...
but regarding to their faq, it's not really the right place for gpsdrive:
"Code.google.com is our site for external developers interested in 
Google-related development. It’s where we’ll publish free source code and 
lists of our API services."

interest...
