Once the trace is uploaded, it can be used as a background to add a line feature to OSM. Using the browser based editor, iD, select the line feature to add your trail. Tag the line as highway=path + a name= if its named. A gpx trace from a consumer grade device can easily be off by 3 meters - if not more. By using imagery along with the gpx the trail can easily be more accurate. Good luck, Clifford -- @osm_seattle osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
