<p class=MsoPlainText>As a total newbie to this I was advised to use Potlatch
as it was seen to be the easiest. I understand that JOSM and
mercaator(sp?) are more sophisticated eg do proper roundabouts, but I wanted to
graduate first! Also, I can not load (or view) maps from osm.org for some
reason - I have to download or access OSM maps from other sources.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>In my trials and errors - I tried to tidy up my tracks in
Mapsource before loading (eg the aimless wandering and chatting with others
before a walk or the straight line that sometimes happens when you turn off
then turn on the GPS in a different location without saving the track).
However, i found out (after I had uploaded and traced) that some were still
untidy. I ended up deleting a few of my uploads and reuploading. Lots
of work for little return, particularly in a couple of cases. Can JOSM
and Mercaator do this type of tidying up? Perhaps I should move in while still
wearing my "L"s?<o:p></o:p></p>
