[OSM-talk] tracking down the 'owner' of a track

[simon at mungewell.org]

Hi all,
Is there a method of tracking down the 'owner' of a GPS track?

The reason I am asking is that there's a new one in my patch and I was
just wondering who else is in the area. They have, however, not tagged it
in a way that I can search tags.

I tried downloading the OSM data for the area via the export tab, but that
tells me nothing....

The track is the un-vectored one in the middle of:

This also raises the question 'how long do you wait before you consider a
gps track abandoned?'.
Simon.
