[OSM-talk] Megastar

[Nick Hill]

Hello Ben

There are around 10,000 trackpoints which I have used as the basis of 
most streets in central Lewisham. There are also a similar number of 
trackpoints in Ladywell fields where someone has presumably been playing 
football with the GPS receiver logging their movement to high resolution.

see 51.45951/-0.0171212


Lets consider two activities:
a) Playing football in Ladywell fields with GPS set to max sample rate

b) Systematically cycling the streets of Lewisham , noting road names 
and features, at a GPS sample rate adequate for the needs, then sitting 
at home, marking in and labeling streets, one-ways, bus lanes.

If a user was to choose one of the two activities, which activity would 
yield the highest score in the competition?
