[OSM-dev] OpenstreetMap Trace Analysys

[John Robert Peterson]

(dang -- I think I may have just sent that wrong -- apologies if you get it
twice)

I thought the options were:

private: no one but you ever gets to see any of the data (not even totally
anonymised)

public: data is anonymised, but is otherwise publicly available.

is this not right?

@john smith:
Unfortunately that won't work in this case. The GPS they use lumps
several days worth of traces together, I'm not sure why it doesn't
split them up based on when it's switched off but that's not
happening, this problem could be over come by looking at time stamps
but someone has to code something to do that.

I've spent quite a while processing gps stuff lately, and may well be able
to come up with something, what are the exact parameters of the data and the
conditions applied?
