[talk-ph] gps traces from a delivery service company

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 around with
it constantly gathering data, and upload it. If 1000s of people did
that, we'll have a massive resource for route planning. LTO and DPWH
would probably find this very useful as well :)
