Great. Actually, we need the data for averaging tracks (and if you ask me, I always prefer visual method for best-fit trace over existing satellite images, if they're available). otherwise, we just trace over the tracklogs which represent most likely the center-of-the-roads). Other mappers can name the roads later.
I don't suggest uploading their entire gpx data to osm. We only need a few quality tracks. We can expect multiple tracklogs over the same roads on their delivery routes, and I believe we have lots of talents here who can make sense out of their chaotic random lines. Let's see how we go about the clean-up. :-) How big are the files?
