9 Years of OpenStreetMap GPS Tracks Available for Mapping

Eric Fischer:

All public GPS tracks ever uploaded to OpenStreetMap are now available for tracing in the iD editor. Click the new “OpenStreetMap GPS traces” option in the background settings panel to reveal an overlay of GPS tracks on the map. You can use it to map roads, check one way streets, or adjust imagery where it is offset.

Check out the crop duster’s tracks. Wild.
