GPGGA information is now parsed, even if there are 16 fields
Latitude and longitude information in RMC and GGA sentences can now include the zeroes or not, but GpsDrive will be able cope with it
Only the basename of the map filename is displayed in order to avoid the problem I described in the chain http://s2.selwerd.nl/~dirk-jan/gpsdrive/archive/msg04442.html (this does not completely solve the problem, since some of the map filenames are still longer than the space we have for them).
