[talk-ph] Cavite Road Network Mapping Party

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

I volunteer to be the "map" coordinator. (Unless there are other people who
have more skill in this area; paging the GIS professionals!) The job is to
be in charge of planning the routes. For this we would need maps of Cavite
in order to do research and take an inventory of the main/secondary roads in
Cavite.

Here are the maps that I know that we can use:

1. EZ Map Cavite (PhP99)
2. Accu-map Cavite (PhP149)
3. NAMRIA topo maps
4. National Bookstore Philippine Road Atlas (the book)

Any others?

If any of you have any of these, can we borrow it? :-)
