Reducing multiple lines into one

Does anyone know how I could take multiple line segments (gps'd points that have been turned into lines) and merge them into one long line.  Because it is gps'd data, the lines are not exactly the same.  I tried to buffer, area on area overlayer, unbuffer but i end up with a polygon and I would like a line.  I cant further reduce this into a line feature.  I also want to chop the line so that i can keep track of the number of times that one road segment was driven over.  I hope this isn't too confusing.  Any ideas?

Hi, how about using the Snapper to snap end points of the lines?

Hi,

 

 

as Takashi says, use the Snapper to snap endpoints. Then use a LineJoiner to form one long line of all segments that join.

 

 

You can use the Chopper to cut your lines into smaller segments.
