I have thousands of kilometers worth of GPS tracks, which I have cleaned up a little (with gpsbabel). Personally, I will never get around to manually trace every one of those tracks, but I would not mind if someone can obtain the information which track some points in a give area belong to. Another question though: Could you implement this feature so that JOSM (my main editor) could use that information too?
