[Talk-ca] Intro and a question

[Steve Roy]

Hi

I thought I’d introduce myself and also ask a couple of questions. I 
live in New Westminster BC and spend a lot of time in the Lac Le Jeune 
area as we have a family cabin there.

I want to start adding data in the Lac Le Jeune area that I collect with 
my GPS when out hiking, biking, 4x4ing, sledding etc. There are numerous 
trails and roads in the area that aren't on OSM.

I have managed to add a couple of forestry roads so far but want to know 
the best way to combine my edits with current roads and tracks on the 
map.There are parts of existing roads and tracks shown on the map and 
they are from NRCan-CanVec-7.0.Some match with my GPS track, others are 
off by quite a few meters.

Should I:

-Leave the existing NRCandata as is and add my data (i.e. my track lays 
over the NRCan track)

-Combine the two and move the nodes of the NRCan?

-Or leave the existing NRCan track as-is and join bits of my track to 
nodes on the NRCan data?

This is the area where I want to add tracks and trails:

This is a GPS trace I have uploaded:
