A photo would’ve been nice :wink:

Good job @DearPaulPH. One of things we’re concerned about the plethora of imagery available is the varied offsets between imagery.

I would like to suggest that you look into this, too, so a wider community can practice to be more consistent when digitizing roads and buildings properly: osm.wiki/Imagery_Offset_Database

Thank you, too for adding accessibility features into the map.

Awesome! We’re going to try a few challenges soon. Thanks for making this better.

No worries. Thank you for contributing to the map @ HaonHiAki.

@Warin61, that’s about DigitalGlobe is also true for us in the Philippines - but with big caveat, their imagery alignment quality is definitely below that of Bing, so we have a lot of newer mis-aligned digitized features.

We’ll know more about how it goes for the new Bing imagery as soon as I check them out.

Thank you for sharing, HaonHiAki.

It would have been nice to have you in yesterday’s MapaBabae event: @GOwin/diary/43553

Keep on mapping!

Gellie! We’re happy to have new faces join us. Thank you joining us, and helping out in the workshops. I’m looking forward to seeing you again in our future mapping events.

Thanks for sharing these photos.

Cool event! Good luck.

I’m curious about the part about OpenStreetMap training, and what topics are covered. We hold our own outreach programs, but barely cover the basics in a 2-hour training session.

People will always have preferences, so find something you actually enjoy doing. That way, it allows you to go on mapping, simply because you enjoy doing it.

I, for example, enjoy mapping waterways, and it gets me into a trance-like mode akin to some forms of meditation (which i also do.)

If you have questions, the best way to find answers are the forums, the mailing lists, or one of the many local community channels in your preferred language.

Good luck!

I’m excited to hear more about this, and how it can help improve AI for tracing imagery!

Eventually, I see AI being just as capable as human mappers with mapping certain features.

Very useful updates! Thank you.

Persistence is a virtue. Theirs, and yours. ;)

That’s awesome @karitotp.

Thank you, too, for your team’s awesome help in our mapping effort around Mayon Volcano, in the Philippines.

That’s awesome! And it sounds like you had fun. Keep it up.

Another one of the awesome OSM folks! Kudos for staying on, and thank you for your contributions.

Good luck with your map everyday goal.

Good job! And thank you for your many contributions.

Your contributions to the map are awesome, and you also help out in adding details in the wiki pages. Thank you!

I’m still wondering what happened to the Batangas City’s government effort to update the OSM map. They don’t appear to be making any updates since August 2017, and last I checked, their edits still needs some fixing. It would be great if active mappers can reach out again to them, and explore how to collaborate.

I hope we can meet you IRL, one of these days. Happy new year! :)

OsmAnd is an open source software.

There’s [Osmand~(https://f-droid.org/packages/net.osmand.plus/), that is community-maintained and hosted at F-Droid. It has all the features of Osmand+, and without the limitations of the regular version found in the Play store (i.e. download limits, absence of Wikipedia support, etc.)

The only slight disadvantage with this version, is that it takes a few days (or weeks) to get the new features found in the + version. OsmAnd is a very mature app, and this isn’t a big deal for many people.

P.S. I support the development of Osmand by paying for Osmand+ , but I use and promote the OsmAnd~ version, and I recommend you do the same.

I am not fond of advanced editing, or drawing polygons on a mobile or tablet device. That said, I’m fine with OsmAnd not having said feature. I’m pretty sure I can draw the same polygon, with better details, and with less time and effort on my computer. ( An editor I really like is Go Map on iOS, and Vespucci)

I never found the hourly subscription necessary. I can either wait for the monthly update, or in a pinch, download a customized OsmAnd database, anytime, using the HOT export tools.

The power features of ~OsmAnd (from F-Droid, although I paid for the app, and can use the OsmAnd+ version) are great for those who use them, but there are other better looking renderers, and more user-friendly options available.
