Probably no one is interested in GPS points any more.
I had developed a JOSM plugin and a server backend to download very fast
blocks of GPS data.
I assumed it be a good companion to the overpass mirror of OSM data. And
fetching GPS points from the API is sometimes slow as hell.
My demo implementation consisted of a JOSM extension and a server
backend to provide GPS points (full resolution).
The planned architecture also took intelligent caching and updating into
account (in case more GPS exports would be available).
I asked around for some feedback, but no one was interested in that plugin.
I considered it useful for aligning aerial images and remapping some
areas, but as no feedback arrived at all I did not put further energy
into development.
My server resources would not allow to provide it on a global scale
anyway. My demo data covers Thailand, in case someone wants to give it a
try.
Regarding your project: Z11 is way to highlevel. Have you thought about
better resolution? Maybe Z19 or Z20?
