[OSM-talk] putting GPS units in taxis

That would be my personal recommendation. I once made a small research on
the availability of GPRS enabled devices (out f personal interest) and came
to the conclusion that they tend to be very expensive for what they do.

So I would suggest:

Buy some good quality gpx trackers, that allow for programming that swiches
tracking of, if the device doesn't move (so if the taxi sits in the parking
lot for a night, it doesn't collect loads of random points) and has a good
battery life. Then just get the tracks every couple of days.
