GPX points is not yet OSM data. There is always the human factor involved.
So whether you want to drop a location fix is very much dependent on your

If you want to do indoor mapping, an accuracy of 500m will most definitely
not be sufficient, however. But then again, if you want to do indoor
mapping, you might not want to rely on GPS anyway;)
