[talk-ph] Atlas Trip Recorder

2012-04-10 Thread Jim Morgan
Just saw this after picking up a flyer in a hardware store
http://www.atlas.com.ph/

Funnily enough the website doesn't ever mention GPS, as that might give the 
game away I guess. :-)

However I did see in the testimonials section there are a few companies using 
the technology. I was wondering if they might turn out to be a repository of 
GPS data, that they might be persuaded to part with ...

Re: [talk-ph] Wiki Loves Monuments needs some mapping help

2012-04-10 Thread Ed Garcia
Hi Eugene,

Usually, at WaypointsDotPH, we get the coordinates and photos from
contributors who have been to the POIs.  I was thinking, that if this will
be a photo contest, then photographers of uncharted monuments might keep
the location information while the contest is going on so others may not
find the location and be competitive?

Anyway, I have been locating many of these sites lately by using combined
panoramio, google earth, wikimapia.  Latest ones are some POIs in Cagayan
Valley.  Most often, I see some of these monuments tagged in panoramio
photos that are linked to GE.  I visually zoom in and try to zero-in on the
monument then I get the coordinates from GE.  I then place the coordinates
on the WaypointsDotPH database since I believe I have less restrictions in
using GE coordinate data than OSM has with GE.  If the map area can be seen
on Bing (which is OSM-friendly), then I put the POI node on OSM.

Visavis, I also extract some POI coordinates from OSM especially those that
are already on OSM and I include them on WaypointsDotPH to complete the
where it is and how to get there feature of the website.  So, basically,
as far as monuments and other provincial tourist destinations are
concerned, one can say that the data at WaypointsDotPH is a superset. So,
if we are after a complete and ordered list, it would help if people submit
coordinates to WaypointsDotPH first (especially those that have been
geotagged from Google Earth).

btw, an example of such a list/map is the Colonial Churches:

 Hi guys,

 Wikimedia Philippines has launched the Wiki(pedia) Loves Monuments
 last March 24. WLM is a photo contest with the aim of creating a body
 of open and freely-licensed photos of cultural and heritage sites and
 monuments. WLM started in 2010 in the Netherlands, became a
 Europe-wide competition in 2011, and in 2012 is now an international
 competition with 28+ countries around the world participating. The WLM
 Philippines webpage is here:
 http://www.wikimedia.ph/wmph/index.php?title=Wiki_Loves_Monuments

 Anyway, the WLM Philippines project managers asked my help if it is
 possible to get the coordinates of each site or monument in the site
 list (which is basically the Philippine Registry of Cultural Property
 (PRECUP) Built Heritage list provided by the National Commission for
 Culture and the Arts) which contain 689 sites total. The list is here:

 http://www.wikimedia.ph/wmph/index.php?title=Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Entry_Sites

 As you can see, most of the sites only have the town or city as their
 location. Not all of them have complete addresses and not one of them
 has any attached coordinates. The additional mapping info would be
 beneficial so the photographers would know where to find these sites.

 Unfortunately, I'm sure that OSM does not have all of the information.
 I estimate that only around 1/3 of these sites are in OSM. I think
 WaypointsDotPH might fare better but I don't think all of the sites
 are on WaypointsDotPH too.

 Do any of you guys have any idea on what's the best way to get the
 addresses/coordinates of all 689 sites? If needed, Wikimedia
 Philippines is willing to buy a license from private GIS companies but
 of course an open/free solution would be best.


 Anyway, WLM aside, I think putting all of these sites in OSM would be
 a nice little project for OSMPH. Do people think it's a good idea to
 have a list somewhere where we can track whether all 689 sites are in
 OSM and with complete attributes already?

Google Maps (not Earth) has a feature where you can right click on any point on

If you then click on the arrow it will pop up the co-ordinates (in decimal as

Re: [talk-ph] Municipality and barangay boundaries in OSM ph?

2012-04-10 Thread maning sambale
Dear Snorre,

The original provincial boundaries were based on Namria's 1:250K
topographic maps this is very coarse and useful only to provide an
overview of the province. At larger scales (or higher zoom levels in
webmapping parlance), this is very inaccurate.

There is also a free dataset of administrative boundaries (from region
to barangay) available at philgis.org [0] which  is also the same data
from GADM [1].  Based on my personal/anecdotal discussions with
several people, this data also came from NAMRIA. This is a very good
dataset but we cannot import it in OSM due to the license issues at
the same time, we also think that it is also inaccurate at the
municipal and brgy level [2].

You are of course welcome to use this data in conjunction with OSM's
dataset to compose your maps in any GIS software.

The best way to get administrative boundaries is to request these data
to the concerned local government unit (provincial and municipality).
We can easily import them once explicit permission is secured.

 Hi guys,


 I'm looking at the basic OSM map, and I see that it has (more og less
 complete?) administrative boundaries on province level.
 It looks like the dataprovider for the provincial boundaries are NAMRIA, The
 National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, (tag Source=NAMRIA
 topo)

 My interest is primarily Western Mindanao, and I as far as I can see, OSM
 lacks data on administrative boundaries below province level, e.g.
 municipaiity and barangay there. Maybe thats the case in for the rest of the
 Philippines too?

 It would have been really cool if we could add more administrative
 boundaries in OSM. Could it in some way be possible to have NAMRIA provide
 OSM with administrative boundary data? Do you have knowledge on their policy
 on distributing map data? National mapping authorities in many european
 countries have made such content free and reuseable for all.(open access)

Re: [talk-ph] Wiki Loves Monuments needs some mapping help

2012-04-10 Thread Rally de Leon
I've tried editing just now and it looks like GoogleDoc approach is
better, considering that any newbie can point-and-click on either OSM
or Google Map,
press permalink, then cut  paste the lat long info into the
GoogleDocs spreadsheet. The GoogleMap  OSM links are auto-generated.
Coolness :-)

All can see the progress of the project immediately. We can fill-up
the address information.

Then maybe, we can reinsert the crowd-sourced address data gathered
here back to OSM via the available map editors.

By then, the unmapped POI's from the list can be hunted down on field
by mappers using GPS; then put the 'source' as gps or mapper. We
finish the project early...

We should have done this a long time a go :-)

   Anyway, I have been locating many of these sites lately by using
   combined panoramio, google earth, wikimapia.  Latest ones are some
   POIs in
   Cagayan Valley.  Most often, I see some of these monuments tagged
   in
   panoramio photos that are linked to GE.
 
  Google Maps (not Earth) has a feature where you can right click on
  any
  point on the map, and select What's Here?. That puts a large green
  arrow
  on the map. If you then click on the arrow it will pop up the
  co-ordinates
  (in decimal as well as degrees, minutes, seconds). Thought that was
  quite
  handy. And also, as you're placing the arrow yourself, then you're
  not
  stealing any info from the Google database, so I imagine you can use
  this
  information unrestricted.
