Here’s my patch as GPS tracks.

I started mapping late 2006. Back then, OSM in the Philippines was completely blank. Maybe I made the first node? At first I struggled with everything, from borrowing GPSr to understanding the tools. I even tried to create a Garmin data cable since it is very expensive to buy a new one.

Perhaps the most stupid thing I did when I was starting was, without understanding any of the schema and API, I hand edited an OSM file because I had difficulty uploading with my flaky dial-up connection. I turned out that I completely messed up the map because I unintentionally removed negative ID values to the original data upload using JOSM! Fortunately, the talk list back then was very friendly and helped me fix it. ;)

Here’s a few other mapping stories.

I was nearly attacked by 4 dogs trying to map an private residential area.

Nearly got into a heated argument with a group of illegal loggers while mapping the forests of Sierra Madre.

More stories here.

I’m getting the same issue sometimes (I’m blaming my ISP). Just try clicking the blue line to see photos. You can also file a bug report at mapillary’s github account.

This is nice challenge. However, I can’t see it in the list of challenges in MapRoulette.

Great! Deteiled mapping in Iligan started after Sendong. Its good to know that there are more locals contributing. Hope you find the data useful.

Keep it up! Is this a local mapping initiative in Iligan? If you have questions, just ask.

Keep on mapping!

Fixed!

Cool! Any plans for open sourcing the code? I’m particularly interested in the iD presets.

Good luck with your docu entry! And its nice you do mapping on the side. ;)

Hi Ken,

I reported your issue in iD’s github repo, please update if the problem persists. Thanks!

@/al, I updated the entry for the location of the images. If that is what you mean.

Welcom to the “tribe”. :)

Lester,

Welcome din. Sana maging makabuluhan din ang iyong pagiging contributor dito sa OSM.

Disregard my comment. My speed reading missed that part of your post. :-)

Cycle, tranport and mapquest layer looks OK.

What’s even more weird is when I checked the details of the photo in the phone, it reports the lat/lon to up to 15 decimals! Way too much IMO.

Great! Any plans for a worldwide coverage?

The underpass is now in OSM, please check later if the routing is OK.

The closed source data is even worst. Unfortunately, I cannot edit it. The problem with closed/proprietary. :)

Perhaps we can also discuss this in the PH mailinglist so that other mappers can help and standardize the tags.

Welcome! I am happy to know that your groups is interested with using OSM Bukidnon has some hi-res imagery you use for tracing data.
