Great work guys! Keep it up.

There's better imagery available from HIU:
tms[23]:http://hiu-maps.net/hot/1.0.0/haiyan-dg-post-flipped/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

If you don't know how to switch tile layers for the imagery, check out learnosm.org for specific instructions.

what does "STSN" stand for?

Ang galing ng detalyeng nilagay mo, Mr. Gnutella. :)

I used to play tennis in the Sacred Heart subdivision, next to Mater Carmeli.

"Jollibee" not "Jollibee's"

landuse=brownfield

This isn't a hackerspace. Try
leisure=amusement_arcade

I suggest you use the following tags:
diet:vegan=yes
cuisine=chicken

Grabe! Adik o. :)

Keep up the good work.

You can add more details here.

building:levels=*
entrance/exit nodes
and you would need to shift the trace a bit to account for the satellite angle.

Hi Maning. This is a side-effect of their current workflow. Am working with the Palawan PRC team through this.

Please consider this a work-in-progress, and I'm also keeping tabs on it to make sure they complete it.

Is this the correct location of the same object mapped here: way/301224566

Hello jovious324. I want to say thanks for the contributions your making to help improve the map of Catbalogan. Kudos and I hope you'd keep it up. :)

Hi chatt980.

You might want to reconsider how you're tagging commercial areas. If they've been tagged as "landuse=commercial", it would be redundant, and therefore not necessary to put in "commercial establishment" in the name tag.

The name tag is appropriate if the actual establishment's name is specified, (e.g. "Mang Andok's Chicken Inasal", etc.)

Hi chatt980.

need to clarify between highway=path versus highway=footway. If these tracks are meant only for pedestrians, you may use footway instead.

It's also not necessary to put the name "rice field foot path", instead you may tag them as a note (for other mappers), or as a description itself.

Getting to know when you'll have new imagery is hard to say. OSM only relies on free imagery that Bing provides for tracing.

It's great to see you're still mapping, and adding a lot of details in Bacolod. Thanks!

Sorry about the large bbox. Made a correction in another area, while doing another from somewhere else.

By the way, your trace was indeed uploaded: @a_joemar/traces/1882004

GPX tracks don't automatically turn into a way. Instead, it's used to trace a way/line.

Using the iD editor, it's a simple drag and drop operation. Details here: http://learnosm.org/en/editing/id-editor/#configuring-the-background-layer

1. Many people keep in touch by the mailing list: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph or thru FB: http://fb.com/OSMPH. You can use Filipino or English in those channels. Questions here may not get immediate attention.

2. One thing to remember with OSM is "map what's on the ground". If the old POIs are no longer applicable you can delete them or use the "disused" tag. See more about this tag here: disused=* . There is no need to ask for permission, OSM trust users to know what they're doing ;) If in doubt, check the Wiki pages, or ask the question in the community channels.

If an area is in construction, you mark it as:
landuse=construction.

Another method I found helpful when starting with OSM is to check out the edits (tagsm in particular) made by other people.
