Re: [Talk-GB] Spam GPS traces

[Silent Spike]

Ah thank you, that explains it!

Although I couldn't find any previous talk on the matter, but did find the
relevant potlatch commit diff

(for
anyone else curious like me).

Looks fine to me

A cock-up in JOSM? Report it to them.

I'm unsure of the extent of the data, but it looks as though they are 
all marked as recorded from 01/01/70 01:00 - 01:00.


Is there somewhere to report this so that they can be removed? I had a 
look around the wiki and found the data working group, but it's not 
clear whether they deal with GPS traces and I couldn't find anywhere 
that specifically discusses them except a figure caption on the page 
for vandalism.

No that's the effect of us (correctly) anonymising the order of points
in private and public traces.

Potlatch has been fixed to handle it but JOSM hasn't (yet).

See previous talk thread for more.
