Potlatch is good for simple edits, josm is much better in the long run. Have a look at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_editors as you can see there a few to chose from. > From what I've read I now will go back to source=survey and add the tag > survey=gps.

Yes gps type could easily end up like that and I don't see any great advantage, unless you have dgps or the like.
