Again, I did not make aerial imagery the sole factor. If there is a significant deviation between the GPS track and the imagery, more than what is typical for normal GPS inaccuracy, then I will investigate and not blindly follow the imagery.

Even within the same GPS track that you made here, there is as much as a 20ft difference between the two passes you made over some trails. All GPS receivers are affected by this kind of inaccuracy, it is just something that is inherent to GPS.

Yes, the southern part of this park is less maintained and trail visibility is not as good. But for the rest of it, there is inarguably a skew between the actual location of the path and your GPS track. That is expected, as no GPS data is perfect. It is one thing to use GPS tracks without much alteration when that is the only data source available, but I am looking directly at the trails which haven't changed between 2021 and 2024, and the GPS track weaves in and out of alignment with them.
