What I'd like to see is something which refines a road with multiple
samples over a few days.  You might tell the software that you were
driving the same route as yesterday, for example.  Starting with the
assumption that you're driving, and with some idea about route, makes
things a lot easier :)

Otherwise, why the assumption that the first survey was most accurate?  It
seems a shame to throw away your most recent data in favour of your first
attempt.

Count us in... it would be brilliant if people could submit maps created
with software like RoadMap directly to OpenStreetMap (so long as the
wiki-like aspect of it is maintained).
