Actually this has everything to do with OSM, with a job you employer can make
reasonable assumptions about your answers based on qualifications, the same
can't be said for OSM except based on past performance, one indicator is the
ability to turn GPS points into map data, and we can only work that out based
on the raw information you used to make the data from.

Why do I need to challenge you to prove what you did was correct, if the GPX
information is present and downloaded into say JOSM I can see if you did a good
job or not, otherwise I am left guessing based on the data other people
provided.

How do I take your word on that if you haven't proven yourself to be honest in
this matter and shown your working out?

Yes, people always tell the truth all the time, but that doesn't prove anything.

News to me, I've had several devices with various brands of GPS chips in them
and they will say for example 8m accuracy and be out by 100m at times.
I especially noticed this since I started embedding OSM maps into an app I'm
coding and the GPS accuracy will be within a reasonable tolerance, but the plot
on the map will be all over the place.
