Even those I edit most of the time before uploading. As Tal says the traces that are online shouldn't be uploaded directly, because they'll look jittered and will contain many unnecessary points. That is unless you use some other tool to optimize the tracks - if you do, please share it with us. Currently best way I know is to open such tracks in JOSM and draw the roads (on top of them) by hand. <br>
<br>I myself mapped one road between Ramle and Jerusalem, but I haven't been able to work more on it. It would be great if we can mark the tracks that have been entered, but I don't know if it is possible. What I was thinking to do is use the very low-tech method of checking them one by one :)<br>

Starting now, these gpx files are marked public and can be accessed here:<br>

Albeck will not be using these gpx files to map data. So that we'll be our job :)<br>
After map lines are drawn, Albeck may find a way to help enter the street names, either directly on OSM or by us asking him for specific street names. We'll think about it later.<br><br>Tal<br></div>
