Hi Maning and list,

As requested, I've uploaded full set of Philippine mountain and hill names found in the US government's GNS dataset.  You should start to see these appearing in the Osmarender map view and in Mapnik next week.

I've also uploaded names of mountain ranges as place=mountain_range . These will not render out but are there for search use.


I keep a full file of all the node numbers, so if there are any systematic issues, do let me know because I can easily make a mass change.

GNS data is not always entirely accurate and is if coarse resolution so the tags will rarely exactly overlie the landsat image of the peak they represent, so do please feel free to edit away!  There will also be some duplication with your own entries to be merged.  I'd appreciate if  is_in tag information is preserved as I am slowly working on a gazeteer that can be browsed on a province by province basis.

A Happy 2009 of mapping to all!
Mike
