Back from the Dead

Posted by Ngawit on 5 November 2020 in English.

After being inactive for a long period, I am back to contributing again to OpenStreetMap. The once-poor Internet infrastructure in my area has hampered my online mapping in the last five (5) years. Fortunately, the connectivity has improved a lot now (albeit intermittent at times, as one would expect in a mountainous terrain that generates its own, unique weather system affecting signal quality). Another factor that discouraged rigorous mapping here in the North is the long absence of updated satellite imagery. Thank mapping gods, we now have updated satellite data. Yey!

I guess your Internet connection improved at a good time (lockdown intesifies)

Maligayang pagbabalik! Maraming salamat, at sana ay patuloy ka pang makapag-ambag sa OpenStreetMap!

Karamihan pa din ng mga aerial imagery ay luma, pero kung papalarin, subukan mo ang OpenAerialMap at baka may mga drone enthusiasts na nag-ambag ng mga bagong imagery.

Kung interesado ka rin, puede kang kumuha at mag-ambang ng bagong streetscape imagery gamt ang Mapillary or OpenStreetCam.

Marami na ring mga contributors sa Norte, subukan mong makipagkwentuhan sa mga community channels nakalista dito: osm.org/wiki/ph
