Hi, I'm one of the upstream authors,

the -geometry command line setting is buggy, see the SourceForge bug
about that.

the "-M pda" or "-M car" command line options are your best bet.

gpsdrive 2.11 and newer:
if you like the normal mode, the trick to getting it to fit on the screen is to 
go into the preferences and turn off some of the left-side buttons that you 
don't use. once the buttons are gone it will shrink. also you can use some 
keyboard shortcuts to toggle off the dashboard at the bottom and the left-hand 
sidebar. Also you can switch between icons, icons and text, text only to make 
the buttons smaller. In the development version (2.12svn) you get even more 
control over this.

(see http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/data/gpsdrive/ for modern 2.11
for modern ubuntu)

Hamish
(happily using it on a 7" eeePC)
