OpenStreetMap
I add to my previous post… In a recent note conversation someone mentioned something visible as Strava trace.
First, I confirmed that Strava is allowed for data tracing: osm.wiki/Strava
Main benefit of Strava is that it contains many more GPX traces compared to uploaded OSM tracks.
To use it, you have to login through another tool: http://strava.github.io/iD/
Be sure to checkout multiple options under background.
Hopefully, one day this will be integrated with ID editor!

Strava works as a layer in JOSM. Place it on top of an image layer to trace roads or trails. It can be added to iD, but only as a background image instead of a satellite image.
I would encourage you to look into JOSM. It isn’t that difficult. [LearnOSM]{http://learnosm.org) has some JOSM tutorials to get you started.
Best, Clifford

You can track progress for iD integration at https://github.com/osmlab/editor-layer-index/issues/294

For what it’s worth, the large number of gps points that strava has is great, but the consequence is that it does result in sharp details of a route getting smoothed out. It’s much better than a low quality gps trace, but I’m not sure how much better it is than a good gps trace + some local knowledge.
