[OSM-talk] Straw Poll - Disk space used by OSM photos/audio

[Gregory]

252MB for 9 mapping trips (1-2 hours I think)
Maybe I should take the quality down so I don't have JOSM running out of
memory.

You mentioned you don't need to knwo GPX traces because they'e on OSM. But
note there may be many people like me that don't upload their traces, I just
open them for use in JOSM and keep them local.

I would love to geotag & upload all my photos to flickr, but now there's a
limit.
(would be even better now that I know how to use the flickr API to get
photos onto a webpage)
