Very nice! I’ll remember to use these in our next mapping session for kids.

great photos! congratulations for running an event.

One of the session tracks during the Second State of the Map Asia conference, the “Local Chapters congress” workshop ran by Maning Sambale https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/maning. I’m confident he’ll publish a synthesis of what the participants shared during the activity very soon.

We have a few photos of that session here while the full conference album is (here](https://goo.gl/photos/NBPe14jZnQDhbHed7)

Also, osm.wiki/Quality_assurance#Monitoring_Tools

The tools I mentioned for monitoring changsets are non-exhaustive. There are many, other tools out there which you can integrate into your own workflow.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

First of all OpenStreetMap is a collaborative mapping platform, data is, and will always be available for editing and modification by anyone with an OSM account, whatever their intentions maybe.

The advantages of keeping the data sets Free and Open currently outweighs the risk of modifications made erroneously and or with the intent to vandalize. Most of the edits are made to fix an error, update the data, or create new ones.

With regards to any assurance about validity and authenticity, only a local community can do that. Data in OpenStreetMap come mainly from tracing satellite imagery (which is quite good for buildings, highways, waterways, and settlements.) adding details require personal or local knowledge, and the best source for that is the local community.

Your office, the local DRRMO, is in a good position to help validate data and actually promote mapping in your own community.

You can monitor changes in your particular geographic area of interest using several tools:

• OSM area history: osm.org/history#map=15/16.6699/120.3380
• ITO World: http://product.itoworld.com/product/osm/map (Free but requires registration)

The OSMPH community is on Slack, in case you want to chat or ask further questions from the rest of the active community: https://is.gd/osmphchat

@aHaSaN Thank you for the write-up.

@PlaneMad The SotM Asia presenters’ slide decks are available from the SotM Asia GitHub repo

@kresp0, as long as they’re outside a church yard, their cemeteries. Otherwise, they’re graveyards.

Wow! Those are really nice imageries.

Great pic! Thanks everyone

:))) When I’m too busy to be bothered, I get a #1 buzz cut myself.

Good luck! We all look forward to getting updates about the map of your city.

Are maps.me users notified of any private messages from their OSM accounts within the app? How about notifications about changeset comments?

I tried the app a few times, but not extensively. The good looking renderer is nice to have, but I prefer a different mobile app, so I don’t know the answer to the questions above.

Awesome tip! Gracias.

I think that boils down to whatever is the theme for any particular tile server you’re using.

If the POI has been recorded, even if they’re not visible, they are often still searchable (Nominatim, OsmAnd).

Parking entrances/exit nodes, I agree, are important, but unless they’ve been marked as such (entrance=* or barrier=*), they will not be rendered correctly and remain hidden.

I always like hearing about how names of places and things came about. That, of course, is not something we’d see often in OSM - but a great reason to go out and do surveys.

Cheers!

I hate it when my computer does that. It isn’t often, but I often think of it as my computer’s way of complaining and telling me: “Hey! Don’t you think it’s time to get a replacement?” :)))

Keep up the good work. All those edits are valuable, and make up for making better and richer maps of our communities.

Nice write-up!

I like how the mapa are rendered with maps.me but find find the features limited. For example, I couldn’t map or look for fire hydrants. OsmAnd, of course, does all that. Well, except for nodes. But then again, I’d rather be using my computer when I have to do more than simple edits. For editing polygons when mobile (if I really, really, have to), then I use Vespucci.

Check them out.

I’m very happy that many continue to register for an account on OSM. However, I’m not really fascinated by the number: 2.4+ million accounts, and would rather acknowledge the 25~k active contributors monthly.

Cool information about history. I never noticed the coordinate option for visualizing change. Thanks.

Good job! Thank you.
