It was me that's been doing lots of tracing in the Southwest. I was just trying to lay a framework of the roads to help with surveying others from. I often find it easier to survey areas bounded my a number of major roads in one go. It gave me something to do whilst the weather was rubbish and I couldn't get out on my bike to get my own surveys where I live.
It's quite possible that some of the roads have changed since NPE, but not being local to the area I don't know that firsthand. Any other source I might use for the references / class of roads would mean me breaching copyright. Someone more knowledgable about the area can relabel, and perhaps refine my traces with a survey. If the original road now forms more than one new road then the way can just be split at the appropriate point. Well done on the 1M+ trackpoints in the Southwest. It'll be great to have some more surveyed data in the area. BTW, I think there's a batch upload script available somewhere.

He's local: > http://www.guillemotdesign.org/ In my holiday-mapping of Cornwall a few weeks ago I noticed someone had been doing a lot of tracing (this was Southern Cornwall Helston/St.Ives/ Land's End). Unfortunately they haven't been taking into account that many of the larger roads have changed recently. The A30, for instance, is practically a completely different route. However, most of the minor roads are still the same. Something for NPE tracers to consider. I need to work out how to upload all my 1M+ trackpoints, including the Cornish bits.
