GPS Track updates

Post by Dogshrink
When I'm looking into, say, a blocked road, I'll look at the GPS tracks to try to determine if it's still true. My question is how long are they kept? Did what I see today really occur as far back as 3 or more days ago?

Currently, the GPS tracks can be many months old. They are cutting that back to 3 months as we speak. What should be happening is that as new tracks are recorded, the old tracks disappear. So on a heavily traveled road, you may see only GPS tracks that are a few days old. Lightly traveled roads may show tracks up to the 3-month limit. Still a work in progress.
