Maybe it depends on the data. If gps tracks will come from delivery vans and
they have (more or less) the same route everyday, we'll have lots of
redundant gpx tracks on osm (which may be very hard to look at). The group
needs to qualify them first before uploading.

I'm just not sure if these donors are aware of security issues. It is best
to keep their names (and nature of business) confidential. What if it's an
armored van carrying money (or container van delivering high-value
electronics)? we become automatic suspects if somebody rob/hijack the van.
Si maning ang unang ito-torture ng NBI/CIDG, hehe ;-)

But maybe, if it's the type like aluminum van that delivers appliances, then
that will be great since they don't have fix route.
