I too agree that GPS tracks should be much more important than imports
(it's also much more fun this way :-)), but I agree with Frederik that
the GPS traces as they are now and not overly useful to me, I stopped
downloading existing traces and rely on my local ones instead.
Downloading a point cloud without being able to connect the dots isn't
that much of a help to me, most of the time.
