Ohh, but I added a flight route from Davao to Manila. Check the data, its there but I don't know why it did not appear. So, Technically Davao is connected to Manila by plane. I will try to add ferry route to Manila. Its a very long route.<br>

><br>
>I've reprinted it here below for convenience:<br>
><br>
><br>
>The motto of this check is "you can go everywhere from everywhere".<br>
><br>
>There is a set of starting points (highways in the center of big cities that are<br>
>well connected to many other streets) I picked randomly. The check finds ways<br>
>that are connected to these ways and thus finds a (bigger) set of ways. This<br>
>procedure is repeated until no more ways are found. Any way that was not found<br>
>is a floating island.<br>
><br>
>There are 30 starting points all over the world, one of them in Manila.<br>
><br>
>Please note that the check will follow any highway and ferries are included, so<br>
>it _should_ find islands as long as there's a ferry connected to a highway on<br>
>the island.<br>
><br>
>So it seems that everything not connected to the main streets of Metro Manila is<br>
>considered as a "floating island". Mindoro is covered since there is a ferry<br>
>route from Batangas to Puerto Galera. I think if we can at least sketch out the<br>
>Ro-Ro routes, we can cover most of the major island. I will also suggest adding<br>

><br>
>However, this will not cover all the islands (there are about 2,000 inhabited<br>
>islands out of 7,100+ and not all of them have regular ferry routes [like<br>
>Batanes (?) which is served by flights]) so this means that we cannot rely on<br>
>keep right to point out all floating island errors. I think a customized QA tool<br>
>for the Philippines would be needed. <br>

>I hope this helps! In the meantime, just uncheck this error and ignore it until<br>
>we can have a backbone connection for the Philippines and more seeds.<br>
