That is: what table size would you or anybody consider really,
really large actually?
I recently attended and Oracle training by Tom Kyte and he said
(partially joking though) that a database is only large when the size
is measured in terrabytes :) So really, really large would mean
something like 100 petabytes
My personal opinion is that a "large" database has more than ~10
million rows in more than ~10 tables.

I would say that as far as GPS data goes the street maps of the world
would be pretty big.
openstreetmap.org is still a work in progress but their current db dumps
gzip down to 6.4GB. It was a while back that I noseyed around with it
but I do recall that it compressed well and was very large uncompressed.
Don't recall how many rows it contained.
I wonder what an almost complete world street map like google maps comes
in at?
