It was a great experience to be part of this mapping session, we have learn many things it was an honored to help others. In the first day of our mapping session we have no idea what we are going to do but our professor tell us that we are going to map, for me i was very interested because this kind of thing was new to me so i tried to map at my home, i didn’t know that there is a leaderboard which where you can see all the edits we had done then i tried to look at it, then i was suprised because i didn’t expect that im the number one in the leaderboard, so starting at that day i challenge my self to maintain that ranking that is why i continued mapping and mapping.

In mapping my neighborhood is not that just easy, for me its very hard since im not that familiar in each house numbers in my place so what I did was I mapped those building that I had known and one of these buildings are stores, water station, computer shop, laundry shop, bakery etc. in a case like this to be more informative to others we must put tags in every facilities or building that we’d known one of example of this is adding a tag in laundry shop.

In mapping street views we used mapilliary this is an app where you map in a way of video form that once you have saved it, it turns to a series of picture like what you have been seen in google map which is google street map. In this kind of mapping since we captured those different places we are able to see different information in the surroundings that we can use to add an additional information in osm, an information that satellite couldn’t see that mapping manually could do.

Based on what I experience in mapping my neighborhood is that I saw a few shops like sari sari store, bakery shops and laundry shops, and what I discovered in my place is most of the buildings or house are very close to each other and this is the reason why its very hard for me to identify which houses are apart from each other because once you look at it you will notice that they are like sharing same walls but the truth is they are not. What i think is that I would able to map my place if I manually check the house personally.
