Hi Robert, There is a planned project to complete the basic map of the province of Bohol. Unlike Cebu, Iloilo, Leyte, and Negros Occidental, more than half of Bohol still doesn't have readily available satellite imagery which can help with completing the map so either we try to procure imagery for the province or use the old-fashioned method of collecting GPS tracks. There was a huge earthquake almost exactly a year ago in Bohol and a fairly complete map would have been very useful back then.
