I wouldn't want Vespucci to draw a way based on a GPS trace. It does one better: The GPS trace is drawn as a blue line and in the background it provides Bing tiles (or map tiles, if you'd prefer those).
So a way can be drawn based on a GPS trace combined with aerial imagery. OK, it's not automatic, but GPS traces on their own are often too imprecise, as far as I'm concerned (both in cities and in forests). The other problem is that many more nodes than strictly necessary would be used to describe the way.
