Since a couple of time gpsdrive proxy support was broken. A new patch from Robin Cornelius was applyed in the latest gpsdrive-2.10pre2. If there is proxy support for many users a essential feature, I suggest to use 2.10pre2 as latest (masked) gentoo ebuild. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. export http_proxy environment var 2. open GpsDrive 3. try to download a map Expected Results: User version 2.10pre2 from http://www.gpsdrive.cc/download.shtml
