I like this change a lot. Now GPS tracks are clearly visible on
the satellite image. I look at GPS tracks carefully in JOSM before
going to mountains.
are you aware you can change all UI colours in JOSM in the settings?
I've for years been using a neon-green as that's providing nice
contrast on the aerial images in my area (and also against the osm
objects in standard style).
I wish it could be possible to view GPS tracks in magenta color as
a map layer at the main OSM page, and also in mobile applications,
especially like MAPS.ME <http://MAPS.ME>, which allow to download
a map (often no Internet access in mountains).
maps.me <http://maps.me> have their own issue tracker on github
It would be a potentially life-saving feature.
exaggeration ;-)
everything could be potentially life-saving, it depends on the
particular circumstances.
Cheers,

People get lost in wilderness all the time [1]. And not only in
mountains, it could be a forest, jungles, swamp, etc. Sometimes they are
stuck for days just couple of kilometres from civilization. Often it is
not possible just go to a certain general direction, as it is necessary
to know the way, which may be not mapped yet, though the GPS track may
well exist.
A GPS track means that someone undeniably walked the route and returned
safely to upload this track.
