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.

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.
