No. Quite simply No. The trivial part is clicking points on a photo to make a line. The non-trivial part is the one where you get on your bike, go the place you're mapping, find street signs, note where the road actually starts and stops (looking out for changes of name half way down streets), and noting down whether one road actually connects with another. Or even frigging exists -- I've deleted at least one "road" in the last week that was actually a row of gardens with 2m high fences and a large electricity substation at one end -- although it looks like Google made the same mistake (only they went a step further and gave it a name).
