Mike,

It depends on who saves it and why. While I would hate for the 
government to waste my taxpayer dollars to create a mine of this 
information, I personally like to save some related information in 
the form of GPS tracks. It's so much fun to make a map using that data.

You can see a non-zoomable version half way down this page:

The zoomable "live" version is even more fun.

With the GPS and with the camera fairly accurately time-stamping 
photos, I now know where each photo was taken, for example. I can 
also review routes and use the history to plan new routes to avoid 
over-used ones.

But this digresses from sound and audio and especially the 
subject...so I changed it.

But, while on the subject of audio, I just installed Samplitude 
Version 9 and like most of the changes so far. More later.

Cheers,

Richard
