Where do I find real GPS data to test with?

1 pointsby waspightover 1 year ago
I am developing tools that works with gps data on mobile devices. I would like more data to test with and I wonder if there is any good resource out there to fetch such data. It could be gpx-files, geojson or any other format.<p>In my experience the gps data from mobile phones are much more varying in quality than what I get from an iOS or android simulator and I would like to have more realistic data to work with. Real recordings would be the best.

Traces uploaded to OpenStreetMap <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openstreetmap.org&#x2F;traces" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.openstreetmap.org&#x2F;traces</a> can be downloaded on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;planet.openstreetmap.org&#x2F;gps&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;planet.openstreetmap.org&#x2F;gps&#x2F;</a> The page hasn&#x27;t been updated since 2013 but still, it&#x27;s gigabytes of data.<p>(Update: 848,000 files based on the annoucement <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.openstreetmap.org&#x2F;2013&#x2F;04&#x2F;12&#x2F;bulk-gpx-track-data&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.openstreetmap.org&#x2F;2013&#x2F;04&#x2F;12&#x2F;bulk-gpx-track-dat...</a>)<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.openstreetmap.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.openstreetmap.org&#x2F;</a> is the forum to ask where newer data is. I remember a technical discussion by the system administrators about backup page for traces so the full data must be available somewhere.
