In German, tracks seems more prevalent - it's used e.g. in Wikipedia and in the German localization of osm.org.

Also make sure to use the What links here special page to update links, particularly to avoid double redirects (these don't work).

GPS tracks is more commonly used in English than traces.

GPS Tracks vs GPS Traces doesn't bother me either way, as long as we are consistent. Once I'm done writing up the Recording ... wiki page I'll see if I can organise a move. Any more feedback to my questions (especially about using smartphones in built GPS) would be very welcome.

As with anything in the phone business... it depends. My original Samsung Galaxy was positively terrible and I did not use it much for collecting traces. Walk under a small tree in the middle of a field? Say goodbye to your lock. On the other hand, my Galaxy S 3 is excellent. Maybe still not quite as good as a dedicated GPS device (probably mostly due to antenna size) but definitely good. It probably helps that newer GPS chipsets can read GLONASS as well as GPS satellites so they typically have over 15 satellites visible to them.
