Cartography Sticker

Posted by LR-7 on 21 July 2010 in English.

I wonder if there is already an OSM Sticker that fellow cartographers have made. I discovered on many occasions that Security Guards and Village Administration officers will easily grant you access to a restricted or exclusive village if you have a sticker on your car; Instead of asking you to leave an ID. I printed out a Google Maps (DIY) sticker before, and it was quite easy to gain entry into some of the villages.

Angeles City Streets

Posted by LR-7 on 21 July 2010 in English.

Did an exhaustive check to see what's on the OSM data and compared with Homeowner's association maps, as well as Barangay spot maps acquired from the local authorities. My wife and I were assigned here every six months for 2.5 years and we basically went through most of the villages, either on foot or inside our vehicle. Cleaned up street data for Timog Park (we stayed here around 4 times) and corrected erroneous nodes. Also uploaded data for Friendship Plaza (stayed here for 1 week with a family friend), but I can't seem to find my POI's for the street names. Will put that on my TO DO list.

Added details to the following places:

Atimonan
Bonuan-Tondaligan Streets, Dagupan
Carangian to San Nicolas, Tarlac
Marketview & Sunrise Subd., Tarlac
A small place in Enrile, Cagayan

This data was sourced from a house-to-house survey/ ocular inspection of the area.
The street names in Dagupan was gathered by a friend (on foot)
The areas in Tarlac & Cagayan was verified on foot using a municipal spot map.
