As best as we can tell the wiki only covers source=survey which is on
the map features page so why does potlatch use source=GPS?

It does not matter if it is documented. When you read source=GPS you can be
pretty sure that you understand what it means.
In this case survey and gps are synomonous, also I can't verify a GPS
was in fact used if people move the way due to

The source tag has been in use for the past 3+ years and no one has made
such a fuss over it as you.
You missed all the fun and excitment on the talk-au list today.

A survey could mean a walking papers style survey without a gps.
Wouldn't that be an observation, a survey is physically surveying something... ?

What is a survey but observing your surroundings? (And recording them,
which is what a walking paper entails).
Even with high-tec recoding equipment, most surveyors (in UK) still have

it isn't precise at all
gps is a subset of survey
but it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of precision
if you think that precision will help you will need far more

Lets face it, most surveyed paths are made by consumer grade GPS
receivers, and street names surveyed are by observation, so
source=survey
you might be shocked. I rarely add this info. many edits are a mix of
gps, yahoo tracing, best guess, averaging and interpolation with
other existing data, topo maps if free version available, free shape
