[Talk-GB] Old and current GPS tracks

Hi,  couple of days ago I had a chance to drive on the new section of A14 (between Brampton and Swavesey junction). I recorder my journey GPS track and now would want to upload it the map. However, I've noticed there are plenty of old traces present and here is my question:   Over the last few years since I joined this list there were several discussions about mapping "current" state of affairs. Latest being the disused apartment block. How do we go about GPS traces?   www.openstreetmap.org www.openstreetmap.org   The above is no longer fully accurate as the traffic has moved to the new A14. If I add my latest trace this will only add to the confusion as there is no way to separate the GPS info by date (or is there?). Do "we"/OSM manage the GPS data so it can be updated when roads change?   Also, looking at the GPS data I found this:  www.openstreetmap.org www.openstreetmap.org  surely, this must be a broken trace which brings no value to the project, is there a way to mark/report such errors?   Many thanks,  dzidek23
