Hi,

We are pleased to announce the new release (20090713) of the OSM-PH
Garmin GPS Map.  This release is an important milestone for the OSM-PH
Garmin GPS Map project.

This the first release who graduated from our new release cycle.  The
general release cycle is every two months (1 month for pre-release
testing and 1 month for the regular release). Thanks to all those who
tested and provided feedback.

What's new in this release
 - data as of 20090713, thanks to all the 240 contributors
 - 39,800++ kilometers of roads
 - new mapsource installer and uninstaller
 - cutting the map into several smaller imgs
 - temporarily removed administrative level boundaries to avoid
confusion from roads
 - a lot more POIs (i. e. traffic lights, toll booths, etc.)
 - more polygons (landuse, building outline)
 - new towns/cities mapped
 - fixed reported routing problems
 - compiled with mkgmap version 1085
