Hi Martin,

you will not get a correct solution for this problem. Your road network and 
the gps points differs always.

A possible "solution" is building a buffer around the streets und look für 
intersection with gps points and filter by direction road/points. Grouping gps 
points can give you the start and end point for the road. If a road is only 
one times driven.

Ralf
