Note making and GPX tracing is part of my routine, every day data collection activity. I try to go back and map through what I've collected data on, but sometimes there's somewhere between a "don't know enough about the area" and a "that trip really sucked and I don't want to revisit it" angle. I'd rather have the data I collected available to someone else working on the area in either case rather than just have that knowledge lost because I had a bad or especially draining road trip and just Did Not Care™ when I got back.
