Hi Frans.

In OSM in generally it's not a good advise to take GPS logs from the device directly to push it into the map database. But: Use your human mind to fix the measurement errors: a straight road is a straight road, even if the trace says it's a zig-zag-line crossing the straight connection repeatingly.

You ALWAYS have to do this manual postprocessing of traces, and that's not due to your specific logging device.

Good strategies are:
- trace more than one log of the same route and manually use some kind of average over all. - trace intersections not by stopping in the middle and marking a waypoint, but by crossing the intersection in both directions to get crossing lines in the trace later. - for fix points (like post-boxes, drinking water supply...) place the device on top of it and measore for a while (some minutes). You'll again get a blurred blob in the gpx trace with the jumping signal: use the middle (and justify the whole stuff with roads etc).

regards
Peter

P.S.: Always keep in mind: relatively accurancy of the whole map - and between the map features - is better than absolute accurancy of a few elements, but post boxes mapped on the wrong side of the street.

We use gps essential, and we got that waypoint is.not ideal to map, we need extra effort.

That is. We need your wxperience work with bad way point to become high quality map

    Hi Frans,

    What do you mean by experience before and after?  The differences in
    the data? What people learned?

    What is available at: http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/9 is the
    instructions we gave people.

    There wasn't any data available beforehand except a couple roads.
