How To Mark Trails... ?

[abrogard]

I want to mark these trails.   Doing it via the mouse is very tedious and awful result.

Don't have one of those pen boards right now but I did have they were pretty useless, too. Mainly because the picture was on the screen but the stylus is on the board.

Do they make one now that is touch screen like a smartphone,  so's the stylus is actually on the picture?
If they do that would be wonderful, as long as it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Or is it now a smartphone app?

Failing all of the above can anyone suggest a best method for me to mark these traiils? When I say 'mark' them I mean trace the whole trail, effectively making a map on that layer.

I don't know what you really want but a one minute job with paths (you can stroke the path with a color, objects, or whatever you want) :

nice how it has curves not angles.

Yes. You need a bit of training, but once you get the gist if it, you can be pretty fast. With the advantage that the result are really blueprints, and you can then try various renderings. You can even easily obtain their length, and so measure the path length on the ground.
