Totally agree, the more tracks the better. On your number 2, do we have time stamps as well for the tracks that are submitted? Is this normally stored in the GPX trances? If we have loads of tracks, that's potentially very useful data! I think when I go back there and I buy a GPS, I might drive

Ok then, this may be good source of the (actual) average speed of vehicles on a particular road (at specific times of day, eg. during rush hour, etc.). This will give a more realistic ETA on gpsr autorouting. As for averaging tracks, i think the roadguideph people (on motorbikes) have been doing

Caveats: most GPX traces uploaded to OSM *are not* suitable for determining traffic data. In most cases, the fact that one is surveying affects how one drives and so the GPX data records how one surveys, not how one actually drives. Also, unless there's a fixed folksonomy, you cannot determine

Hi, I just had a phone discussion from a delivey/forwarding company. They own several delivery trucks equipped with GPS. They are willing to donate GPS traces provided we give them GPS maps (which I do anyway). Focus areas includes Visayas. Do you think this is a worthwhile data source? Of

Great. Actually, we need the data for averaging tracks (and if you ask me, I always prefer visual method for best-fit trace over existing satellite images, if they're available). otherwise, we just trace over the tracklogs which represent most likely the center-of-the-roads). Other mappers can
