Jing, > I discovered OSM a year ago, back then it was not too significant in my > travel routines. Until last November 2009, I finally decided to buy a Car > GPS. Having tested OSM's map on a friend's Garmin GPS, I said to my self, > its time to bring my navigation tools to the next level. Bestbuy offered > last November's black friday sale a Garmin Nuvi 205w, for only $99.99 (less > than 5 thousand pesos). So a friend, Narcky (who is now also a contributor > to OSM) and I bought this new baby. Make sure you enable 1 second tracking in your nuvi. This way, you get maximum density of gps trace.

If you will notice, we started tracing > roads from the Bataan Provincial Expressway to the town center of Orani, and > a few roads that was driven by the GPS. > > My next mapping project will be San Jose City, Nueva Ecija. Just a small > city, I plan to hire a tricycle, put the GPS on, and let the tricycle loose > all over the city. My estimate is it will run in less than an hour to cover > the entire downtown. If successful, I will try to do Cabanatuan City next. If your planning to trace several cities, I suggest you also look for locals who maybe interested in continuing your efforts. Locals can add a lot more detail other than roads. We are not only building the data, we also want communities to maintain and continually update the data. :) > Wish me luck guys. Good luck!
