I just succesfully uploaded by first GPS trace. I can view the starting location of this trace on an OSM, but not the entire route.

Is this possible?

If not, what do people use the “GPS Traces” feature for?

I’m a developer interested in open and accessible data. Mapping data in particular offers an opportunity to affect the communities around us.

I’m just getting started with Open Street Maps, and so far am very happy with the iD editor. I wonder if I could contribute somehow.
