[OSM-talk] What should be Uploaded

You could also take a digital camera with you and take photos at the key
points where, for example, a road changes into a footpath.  JOSM can read
the EXIF tags on the photos and match them up with your track logs.

I'd recommend a camera anyway for recording street names, points of interest
and anything else that you might see.
