Thanks for the advice. The Bing image does appear to be spot on. I
have started having a tidy up and will continue when I can. Most of the
GPS tracks will be from me in that area. Unfortunately I only travel a
few routes for my work. I am moving on to another city now, so I will
see what has happened there.

I don't know if it is from an import or just careless editing. Have a

At first glance it looks like editing rather than an import, and the
people doing the editing look like they're relatively new (start 2011)
and local to Chittagong (if not local to that corner of it - there are
relatively few GPS traces underneath your link, and the Bing imagery
isn't of the highest quality, so the lack of map quality isn't too
surprising).
A couple of thoughts:
1) I guess that you've got no EGNOS or equivalent, but have you been
able to figure out if the Bing layer is aligned decently? The
relatively few traces on the major road at the northwest corner of your
picture suggest that it probably is OK, but more traces would surely
help people to figure out where roads connect where it's not too clear
from Bing.
2) It does look like the people doing the mapping are pretty new to the
game, so it might be worth trying to introduce them to this list, the
newbies list and the help site. There's a talk-bd list, but not much on
it. However...
3) Maybe have a chat with this chap:

who seems to be organising some student mapping in Chittagong?
Cheers,
Andy
