[talk-ph] News: Accu-map now has their own PND
The PND is called Vector: http://www.vector.com.ph/ Blog post from the launch event with pics: http://dlvr.it/Hm3Qc It's not AVT, which if I understand it correctly only licenses the map data from Accu-map. Vector seems like it's Accu-map's own product with the technology probably licensed form NDrive. Based on the FAQ http://www.vector.com.ph/faqs.html , detailed coverage is As of 2010: Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan, Rizal, parts of Batangas, Subic-Olongapo, Baguio, Bacolod, selected areas in Pampanga and Zambales. But I guess they also have the National Highways, just not details streets of other places. They also claim to have 38,000 POIs. Price is P13,900 and it runs Windows CE. So I guess one could hack it and install Garmin Mobile XT? ;-) ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
Re: [talk-ph] testing the address and street search in osmphgps garmin map
Hi Maning, Is POI for streetnames would be able to find / distinguish street number and street name? eg. 1 EDSA from 999 EDSA. The reason I am asking this, I am planning to develop iPhone app that acquires the location (lat/long) auto and StreetName (i.e. Street number + Street number) (-- i.e. only input by the users) and send to Postgresql server. It would be a FREE apps in Apple App Store. Objective 1. Geocode Philippine Streets for OSMPHGP and others 2. Acquire Street Names for OSM-Ph. Android? Later on :-) Tools. 1. Route-Me for iOS (FOSS library) 2. PostgreSQL Anybody interested and like to help?

Re: [talk-ph] testing the address and street search in osmphgps garmin map
Hi Maning, Not yet, you can ignore the housenumber or input any number in the textbox to go to the street search. OK. it is capable to search the house number, if there is a data. Is it separate entry for the number? Your project looks good, how do you plan to integrate this dbase into osm? AFAIK, there is an agreed code of conduct in OSM not to upload any data in bulk by a single bot/user. I am planning to have a separate postgresql server, not use the OSM at the moment. I need help on this server. If I can not find a free server, I think I need to find a internet service provider with 24//7 postgresql server. The postgresql server just need one database and one table i.e. Street Street ( id Latitute Longitute StreetNo StreetName Place? - for city and towns but I think no really Users?* - default - Juan dela Cruz :-), Anonymous ) * Good for statistics for contributors. The iphone app users will just input the StreetNo and StreetName. That it. If this is the case you need to provide a mechanism wherein your app users has their own OSM account. Good luck! I think we don't want the users to get OSM accounts,less work for them the better. Just the just street number and street names are good enough. However, we will find a mechanism how to integrate this latter on. Any other suggestions how can make this project going. I will register as Apple developer and have this as my first app :-). Thanks.

[talk-ph] request for clean-up and armchair mapping in Olongapo
Hi, Olongapo and Subic Area have high-res imagery. Upon inspecting, the imagery has good alignment with the gps traces. However, I noticed several issues on the existing data in Olongapo poblacion area: http://osm.org/go/4zOBzFDj- 1. roads are not aligned to the imagery and trace (I added a few more and corrected others) 2. road node density needs some simplification May I request interested mappers to have a look and improve the coverage. Btw, do we have local gapo and subic mappers here? Thanks! -- cheers, maning -- Freedom is still the most radical idea of all -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ -- ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
