Upps! sorry, first one I hit from Google...

Hi,
just a quick note, the link to GeoCouch is quite outdated. GeoCouch
is now written in Erlang (for tighter integration with CouchDB).
More about it:

Hi,
We're starting a project which aims to do similar things (store some
dimensions of a slope for a GPS location, possibly a photo too).
We're
looking at geocouch for location indexing
(http://www.vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog/index.cgi/geocouch-geospatial-queries-with-couchdb:2008-10-26:en,CouchDB,Python,geo

If you can write something that will index your sensor data I'd say
this
was a good fit, you might need to use a custom (i.e. not javascript)
view server, depending on what that data is.

Hi,
Recently I saw Aaron Miller has an Alpha of CouchDB running on
Android, which has me very excited about the convergence of these
two
technologies.
One project where CouchDB on Android could help us would be for the
logging of Bluetooth sensor data (such as GPS, and other external
sensors, such as Weather).
CouchDB is appealing here because of its replication technology;
sharing the sensors DB's to other Android Devices in the area and
back
to base over the mobile network would be great!
After reading much about CouchDB, I was wondering if anyone could
'sanity check' the idea of putting raw sensor data into the
Database,
and then writing views to extract meaningful information from it.
Some of the sensor data would be binary, while other stuff such as
GPS
would be text based NMEA strings. Regardless of the sensor data
output
type, each raw insertion into the database would be a complete
'sentence' of input, so the views would have something
reliable/predictable to work on.
The other option is to decode the sensor data prior to insertion,
but
this doesn't feel as fun!
Any comments appreciated,
Charlie
