This depends on the machine/software you use. My PDA/GPS (a Mio) can
have the snap to road feature on and it will still store the correct
raw log data. When mapping I usually turn it off, but for me it's not
a requirement.

This is what I do. I use paper maps to plan my route. I also take them
with me so I stay on that route or to make changes to my route. I also
use the maps on the GPS and the track log. As you driving around the
track log shows on screen so I know what streets I've done. I use a PDA

Jokes aside, just because we can't directly copy from other maps doesn't mean
we can't use them to figure this stuff out, but u

It's a problem given to all computer science students to solve:
"the travelling salesman".
The more points to cover, the more processing power it uses

rectangular blocks -
In my up an coming trip to SE QLD, I'm probably going to go through a number of
largish, relatively speaking, regional towns that aren't mapped out except for
a handful of streets and most if not all were from landsat imagery.
Now does anyone have suggestions on how to basically drive the entir
