Welcome!

Have you discovered the wiki

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page

The Beginners Guide is really worth a read, as it's not always obvious to begin with how to go about things, as it sounds like you're discovering!

And if you'd prefer to watch some videos:

These are not very polished, but the Potlatch one is well worth watching if you plan to use Potlatch (the editor you access by clicking the "edit" tab). (Other editors are available.)

Hi eebrah - What GPS unit are you using ? - you trace was quite short - but it all helps - let us know it looks like the unit is auto tracking ( logging a point when you have changed direction ) rather than tracking once per second or similar

keep up the good work
