I also noticed notable changes to the OSM coverage since June 2008, and they were extremely extensive.
- In the buildings part, it was quite improved, especially the Eastwood City area.
- In the boundaries, some parts are way off (I merely improved certain portions of the eastern Metro Manila/Southwestern Rizal border portion)
- I am not trying to improve OSM via Yahoo! Imagry in black hole areas (Recently, I [finally!] "linked" Camp Sampaguita to the New Bilibid Prison area)
- And regarding the edit done in the southwestern Bulacan area, I did the entire area for at least a week.

Hi,
I have to say the recent Mapnik update for Metro manila is looking
quite extensive!
- Paranaque and Las Pinas are getting more coverage (though a lot has no names)
- More buildings added.
- North Caloocan gets some love (partly by me)
- We now have municipal/provincial boundaries (which of course can be
improved further)
- Taytay from rally's data import
- More landuse added
- And oh! I really liked this one:

At this rate, I can boldly say we can get the Metro Manila completed
by the end of 2009! (At least for roads).
The black-holes that needs volunteers are Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros,
Caloocan, Valenzuela, Navotas and Malabon.
But something really bugs me, why is Jolly Recreation Center so
prominent in Osmarender?

Keep on mapping guys!
cheers,
maning

POSTSCRIPT: I have a way to get rid of that pesky "Jolly Recreational Cnter", but it's too complicated.to explain it anyway, but it involves "pulling". And Osmarender is going "haywire", with places like northern Muntinlupa, eastern Parañaque, Taguig, eastern Makati, a small part of NAIA (runway part), 70-80% of Mandaluyong, Pasig City (excluding the northern portion), a "small" portion of Southern Quezon City, and a huge chunk of San Juan "underwater".
I only hope that we solve it in due time.
