But try downloading GPS point clouds from the middle of any metropolis and make sense of them. It's a bit like reading from tea leaves. And no, I don't think the solution is to dropping those traces, but eg being able to connect traces along a path rather than having a big cloud of independent points would make them much more useful to me already.
