Ok I will auto-answer to this question based on you answer with more accuracy data based on http://www.eoss.org/pubs/nmeafaq.htm NMEA 0183 sentences= up to 82 Ascii chars-->one sentence per second-->82 bytes per second
so 60*60*24*82=7084800 based on zzip examples text compresion http://debin.net/zzip/results.php aprox 5:1 ratio text compresion so 7084800/5=1416960--->1,35Mbytes each day of raw NMEA zziped data For sure there will be more efficient ways to store GPS Track information (maybe GPX xml format, or JOSM storage data format) but as worst case NMEA raw format makes me think you can store easyly a full week of gps data in less than 10MB. So I hope this information will be usefull to any one , for me it has been a good exercice to know more about gps --- Schmidt András <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribió: > David Samblas Martinez wrote: > > 24 hour of gps data log how big (in bytes or > > multiples) can be?
