[talk-ph] Mapping Orani Bataan

[maning sambale]

Jing,

> I discovered OSM a year ago, back then it was not too significant in my
> travel routines. Until last November 2009, I finally decided to buy a Car
> GPS. Having tested OSM's map on a friend's Garmin GPS, I said to my self,
> its time to bring my navigation tools to the next level. Bestbuy offered
> last November's black friday sale a Garmin Nuvi 205w, for only $99.99 (less
> than 5 thousand pesos). So a friend, Narcky  (who is now also a contributor
> to OSM) and I bought this new baby.
Make sure you enable 1 second tracking in your nuvi.  This way, you
get maximum density of gps trace.

> Narcky and I are planning to map the whole of Orani, Bataan. We will be
> using delivery trucks that goes around the entire town to collect GPS
> traces. Narcky hails from Orani. If you will notice, we started tracing
> roads from the Bataan Provincial Expressway to the town center of Orani, and
> a few roads that was driven by the GPS.
>
> My next mapping project will be San Jose City, Nueva Ecija. Just a small
> city, I plan to hire a tricycle, put the GPS on, and let the tricycle loose
> all over the city. My estimate is it will run in less than an hour to cover
> the entire downtown. If successful, I will try to do Cabanatuan City next.
If your planning to trace several cities, I suggest you also look for
locals who maybe interested in continuing your efforts.  Locals can
add a lot more detail other than roads.  We are not only building the
data, we also want communities to maintain and continually update the
data. :)

> Wish me luck guys.
Good luck!

If you need help just ask around here.
