I already saw that but most people in the field in uganda/kenya .. aftrica, especially those with a phone with a build in gps do not collect accurate date.
I've seen this on some htc's and n95's that I tried Gmobile XT on. An external gps will perform much better and those ppl that have an external gps who wait for the gps to receive the best location data (takes some times 15 minutes) before they start tracking a new road and only then upload that to T4a. T4a uses a fault of all the tracks they receive and only issue a road on a new map after receiving at least 10 different tracks of the same road. Once that new road is on the map the users who submitted the tracks get a new beta map to cross-check the new road on the map. I must saw that google maps is nice and to me very useful to to explain a location with directions if they can not read my gpx track from my Garmin mobile.
