[Talk-GB] GPS Tracks downloaded from OSM in JOSM

[Shaun McDonald]

Hi,

When I download the GPS tracks in JOSM, it appears to be a complete  
mess, with very large gaps between the GPS points. This means that  
there are random lines all over the place.

Is it due to wrong settings when the data was recorded?
Is it due to the intermediate points on the route being outwith the  
downloaded area?
Is there any good way of working with the data?
