2 years ago, my cousins got lost coming from Laurel going up to Tagaytay ridge via these roads (they became narrower as they went up the mountain, enough to fit one car only). So, I don't recommend any of the barangay roads mentioned going down to Laurel via tagaytay ridge. It's rainy season.

Here is a suggested compromise. Why don't we replace all the road names of unverified or suspected traces over there with FIXME's. (that way, they becomes temporary 'reference data' only) Then we send gpstogo(plus paper map) and my old garmin 76 gps to Bacolod, and make a game out of this

Ok then, this may be good source of the (actual) average speed of vehicles on a particular road (at specific times of day, eg. during rush hour, etc.). This will give a more realistic ETA on gpsr autorouting. As for averaging tracks, i think the roadguideph people (on motorbikes) have been doing

Re: [talk-ph] gps traces from a delivery service company

Great. Actually, we need the data for averaging tracks (and if you ask me, I always prefer visual method for best-fit trace over existing satellite images, if they're available). otherwise, we just trace over the tracklogs which represent most likely the center-of-the-roads). Other mappers can
