[talk-ph] Mindanao Avenue to NLEX

Sun Jun 13 14:45:05 BST 2010

Checking josm, I don't think any other road was connected.  Just a
timeline of events:

June 5, 2010 - PGMA inaugurates NLEX-Mindanao Avenue Link
June 11, 2010 - this was reported in the OSM-PH mailing list
June 12, 2010 - first GPS trace uploaded
June 13, 2010 - a better trace uploaded
June 13, 2010 - the NLEX-Mina Ave Link added in the map 20 minutes
after the gps track was uploaded

Great job pinoy-OSMers!
