[tutubi]

it's delayed as usual but it's nice still

been waiting for the whole extension to La Union so i can drive all the way to
Pagudpud :)

i don't like to drive, only navigate :)

the eastern expressway is still far off

>> While the Bing satellite imagery shows evidence of the TPLEx route due to the tell-tale signs of construction, we would definitely appreciate actual GPS traces. Bonus points if you can get traces of the on- and off-ramps for each of the expressway's exits. :-) (Ervin, go!)
