This helpful Google Maps mash-up plots Youtube videos where they were filmed. Compared with the march routes I posted earlier, it appears that there was a massive turnout. Some videos show crowds as far as the eye can see.

 The Los Angeles Times now writes:

Protesters told The Times that the crowd rivaled the numbers that flooded Tehran's streets in the week after Iran's June 12 election, a claim backed by video showing huge crowds flooding major downtown thoroughfares.

(The mentioned protests from June saw crowds as large as three million).
