The ability to use Landsat to edit the data is not actually in the app yet - 
the intention will be that a user will be able to position lakes, woods and 
perhaps summits using the Landsat data.

As for editing the tracks and waypoints, you can define a segment of a track 
as one of several types (road, path, etc) by clicking on the start and end 
point of your intended segment. The types are a bit UK centric at the 
moment : "footpath"=pedestrians only, "bridleway"=pedestrians and horses.
You can also delete points from a track, and you can edit a waypoint when you 
click on it. The toolbar entries indicate the different modes; roll over them 
to show what they mean.

Not yet- I can't figure that one out and I've even converted to using pure 
latitude/longitude now with no OSGB stuff.

At the moment it can't deal with more than one track; it treats all tracks as 
one. Again on the to do list.

Since you're keen for it to stay, I can add it back.
