I would upload all the GPX tracks you have into the database. They can sit there and not have to be acted upon. Upload them, tag them well, and make them public. When people are working in the area, and they hit the GPS tracks button on Potlatch, the GPS traces will show up. They can then use them as a basis for laying down the roads. If you have tagged the traces so that people can find them, then they could turn the traces into ways automatically. The worst thing about finding GPS traces where you are mapping, is not being able to find out which trace you are looking at. You need to find the trace in the database and then click on the edit button. If you can't find the trace in the database, you're out of luck. When I upload traces, I tag it with the country, province, road name/number, and larger centers that the traces goes through to hopefully allow people searching to be able to find it. http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/VE6SRV/traces/92454 James VE6SRV _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
