Ah I see thanks. In the OSM editor (in Practice Mode) I see they are
set as "(no preset)" and "highway: track". Is it difficult to change
this so that these tracks show up in my GPS? I also have a few tracks
of my own that I could add to this area (a very popular dirt biking
area - state forest) and I can see a few inaccuracies in those given.
But I'm just a noob at this stage :)
