we have some guide/idea on what to map first.<br><br></div><div>Tony Montana: Me, I want what's coming to me.<br>Manny Ribera: Oh, well what's coming to you?<br>Tony Montana: The world, chico, and everything in it.<br>-----<br><span class="adr"></span>Blog: http://ianlopez1115.wordpress.com/<br>OpenStreetMap/Twitter: ianlopez1115<br>Facebook: ian.lopez<br><br></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> maning sambale <emmanuel.sambale@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> osm-ph <talk-ph@openstreetmap.org><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, October 11, 2011 3:15 PM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [talk-ph] mega-micro-detail or even
coverage?<br></font><br>
Hi,<br><br>A very interesting talk by Harry Wood last SOTM2011 (I was on the<br>other room presenting State of the PH during that time). Blog and<br>link to videos and slides here:<br>http://www.harrywood.co.uk/blog/2011/10/10/sotm-talk/<br><br>The main message is that while some areas are getting enormous level<br>of detail the coverage seems to be very uneven (slides 43 onwards). I<br>think this is happening in some areas in the Philippine map.<br>Some mappers are doing micro-detail mapping (I'm guilty myself) while<br>in other places, data is barely updated if updated at all.<br>Micro-detail mapping is good but it is very difficult for new mapper s<br>to contribute to these areas leaving the impression that is is already<br>complete.<br><br>Should we go for detail or even coverage? Where do we draw the line?<br><br>-- <br>cheers,<br>maning<br>------------------------------------------------------<br>"Freedom is still the most radical
