[OSM-newbies] Data precedence: Yahoo or GPS?

I am starting to use a GPS to map trails (highway=footway) around town. Some
of the trails or sections of a trail are also visible in the Yahoo imagery.
When there are disagreements between my GPS track and Yahoo imagery, which
one should take precedence? I am guessing Yahoo, but want to confirm this
with the community.

For an example see this footpath in Edit mode:

Thanks,
