Sections of Paranaque (between Dona Soledad and Don Arcadio Santos
Avenue) needs major routing review. We passed by the area yesterday
and I noticed that a lot of roads are:
- blocked by gates and fences
- most roads should have access=private tag
- slightly imagery traced roads are slightly misaligned (the new
imagery seems to fit to my trace)
General area here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=121.0012279&minlat=14.4522022&maxlon=121.0441613&maxlat=14.4876399&box=yes
My trace:

I trusted my gps too much and we ended up on some deadend roads (it is
not actually deadend but the other section of the road is blocked-off
by a fence).
Garmin tip: for unfamiliar areas, do not use the "Shorter distance",
instead, use the "Faster time" route preference. Faster time will
route you to major roads (primary, trunk, etc) . It may not give the
fastest route but it will most likely give you reliable routing.
