It is helpful. Most of my routes so far have been me just going
somewhere in the car. If you fire up the map editor (JOSM) and download
all the GPS data points that have been uploaded from s'toon, you can
clearly see the major roads that Scott and I travel on.

Of course, it is a lot easier to get figure out the streets when I walk
around to map out every nook and cranny of a street like the windy ones
with all the suffixes in the 'burbs, but every bit helps. :)
