Gimp lets you plot freehand or if you hold shift will do a straight
line, I'm sure there is a number of modifiers that would make a free
hand mode useful...
Gimp is a bitmap-based-programm. As I pointed out: nearly all vector-based

It is good that simplification is forced. But of course, it will still
stupidly add a large zig-zag caused by bad reception to the map. (I
have seen beginners manually add such zig-zags before they learn that

You can already convert a GPX layer to a OSM layer and then upload the

to remove points if they are once a second and all points are imported

I have been using JOSM for the last 2-3 months for making changes to OSM. A
practical issue I see using JOSM is it shows the GPS trails as light red
lines and then the user needs to draw nodes on those trails. Drawing these
individual nodes, taking care that each curve on the road is taken care of

This is possible combining several features. However, it is a bad idea,
Hi Nop, thanks for your email. I take your point, it would be difficult to
delete and then we would be purely depending on the mapper's diligence. So
yeah, I think I would rather use the suggestions given by Dan than advocate
an auto track feature.
