Well I was under the impression he was using the JOSM feature to
create a data layer directly from the GPX traces. Given the amount of
data you have in Oslo/London/Köpenhamn drawing manually is an
requirement.

Automatic generation of segments is a nice feature, I only wish more
people could be working on it.
