[OSM-talk] GPX tracing from New Popular Edition Maps

[Andy Robinson]

Nick,

I'd change from orange perhaps to green or something but only because it
needs to contrast well with whatever you are tracing and a lot of the roads
are very orange already which makes it difficult to see. The yellow is fine.

Otherwise excellent.

Cheers,

Andy
