I think what I will do in all future uploads is to run (1) ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology in the server before exporting and use a 1m tolerance and (2) drop all vertices where the accuracy is not at least 5m. That would reduce several vertices.

Than you Vincent and Rovastar for fixing andpointing out how to improve the data! I really appreciate the help from both of you.

To make this easy in the future, I can also setup different thresholds in the mobile device or server as far as how often I want a vertex. Should I drop down to every 3 meters instead? or more than that?

I wrote a blog post about collecting this data that can be found here:

I would appreciate any feedback.
