WIll do in the future. If I can file patches to gpsdrive with you, I 
think I can trust your mirror as well ;)

Yeah, damn . key has been ruined by too much spilled coffee over time. 
But here definitely should be data in that bounding box. The town of 
Tinglev 98% complete, the road to Åbenrå, and part of the E45 highway 
which runs from the german border (Sønderjyske Motorvej) up to Kolding.
Unless ofcourse you are running against a local copy of planet.osm from 
May, when the data wasn't there. It most definitely is there in the OSM 
server. I've uploaded, segmented, tagged and named it myself.
