[OSM-talk] Bogus GPS Uploads

BTW, is there a way to find the actual traces in a given area, maybe  
the comments on that track say what was recorded. But AFAIK besides  
getting anonymous points in a given area, there is no way to actually  
find the source track. I actually wanted to get the full traces of  
parts I saw and couldn't. This would be useful to see stuff like the  
track's precision since this is not reported by the points download  
API...
