Overview of the available Debian Packages

Here the short overview about the debian packages at http://www.gpsdrive.de/debian/pool/main/:

gpsdrive_2.10svn*_i386.deb:
This is the main GpsDrive Package. It holds the gpsdrive binary and all dependencies needed to run the program.
gpsdrive-data-maps_*_all.deb:
This package holds the Satelite maps which are used to get a broad overview when starting gpsdrive. They are not necessarily needed. But the help finding your way around until you have other data-sources/maps installed.
openstreetmap-map-icons_*_all.deb:
This package holds the icons used to display "Point of Interrests". The source of these icons is at http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/share/map-icons. an overview about the existing icons can be found at: http://www.gpsdrive.de/development/map-icons/overview.en.shtml
openstreetmap-map-icons-classic.small_*_all.deb
openstreetmap-map-icons-classic.big_*_all.deb
openstreetmap-map-icons-*_*_all.deb
One of these Packages is required by openstreetmap-map-icons_*_all.deb. This Package holds the Icons itself.

Openstreetmap-related Packages:

openstreetmap-josm*.deb:
The OpenStreetMap Editor Josm with a lot of his plugins
openstreetmap-utils*.deb:
A lot of utilities which are usefull for working with osm Data.
openstreetmap-gosmore*.deb:

mapnik-utils_0.4.0-1_i386.deb
libmapnik-dev_*.deb
These package are a copy of the current mapnik rendering library. If you want to use vector-data with gpsdrive you'll have to install these packages too.

Deprecated Packages:

openstreetmap-mapnik-data_*_all.deb:
This package is currently deprecated. It held some of the old openstreetmap data itself.
the current method to get up to date Map Data from Openstreetmap is to use the openstreetmap-utils package and then to use something like the command
'mapnik-osm-updater.sh --all-planet-geofabrik=europe/germany/bayern'
mapnik-osm-updater.sh can be found in the openstreetmap-utils package.
