This brings up a point which I'd like clarification on.

When I input data from my own GPS, I tag it as source=survey.

But what if I use the JOSM download of "Raw GPS data" to plot the way? What should the source tag say then?

As long as there have been more than a handful of passes logged, This seems the most accurate way by far to get the true path of a winding road. The "false" points (when individual GPSs can't decide whether a corner has come up, or accuracy has gone down) get nicely averaged out.
