Hi Jack,
Welcome to mapping in the west country.
Without any in-depth checking the service roads you've mapped look okay
Drawing in a roundabout isn't too hard. Just split the road(s) that you
want to insert the roundabout into, draw in a rough circle for the
roundabout (doesn't have to be a perfect geometric circle), tag it
appropriately and reconnect the previously split roads to the roundabout.
Practice makes perfect.
My experience with built-in mobile phone GPS receivers is that the accuracy
isn't as good as dedicated GPS units. I guess you can test it by travelling
over some roads that have already been mapped to see if what you get is
usable.
regards,
Kevin
