[talk-ph] San Juan, Batangas mapping
I'll be going to San Juan, Batangas on Wednesday, Jan. 19 and am wondering what GPS tracking software for the Nokia N97 would you guys recommend. I have been using SportsTracker, but it doesn't provide capability to add waypoints and POIs. -- Eric Manuel Pareja (eric.par...@gmail.com) LPIC-2, NCLP | PGP/GPG Key 0xB82E42D9 Coordinator for Technology - National Telehealth Center University of the Philippines Manila Senior Linux Trainer - International Open Source Network - ASEAN+3 Ang mundo ay aklat, at iisang pahina lamang ang nababasa ng hindi naglalakbay. - San Agustin わかよたれぞ つねならむ ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph

Re: [talk-ph] What denomination tag do we use for Catholic churches?
I know that there are adherents to the Eastern Orthodoxy here in the Philippines. The Aglipayan Church is also known as the Philippine Independent Catholic Church. It is the second largest Christian denomination in the Philippines.

Re: [talk-ph] advise on tagging barangay health centers
hi ian, maning, tagging health centers as public building or doctor's clinic would probably be correct in keeping with generic tagging, but it would be more useful if they are tagged specifically as health centers. i've been convincing my boss at the national telehealth center, UP Manila, to use openstreetmap.organd this would be a good use case for us. ian, if both health centers and police outposts are tagged as public buildings, how do we differentiate them? there's value in distinguishing the health centers as such, and we'd like to be able to work with that data to help direct patients to the nearest one.

Re: [talk-ph] City in well city names
We should follow the Philippine Standard Geographic Codes (PSGC) which is available at http://www.nscb.gov.ph/ACTIVESTATS/PSGC/default.asp The official city names are listed there in the quick table. So the official name will either be City of or City as indicated in the table there. For example, Taguig City is the official name, not City of Taguig. On the other hand, City of Makati is the official name, not Makati City. It will be the same for Barangays as well as for other geographic units.

The current naming convention there is to add the City but there's a proposal to drop the City in most of them. Except for those cities that share names with other prominent places (Iloilo, Cebu, Davao, Cotabato, Isabela, Quezon, Sorsogon etc.), people usually refer to these places by just the name without the City. In OSM, we have the convention to remove Barangay in barangay names and similarly, City in most city names. The reason why you'll see signs that add the word City is because achieving city status is a badge of honor. The city governments would like to proclaim that they are a city (which implies a more developed places) every chance they get! So I wouldn't put too much weight on those signs and government websites. ;-) My two centavos, Eugene (osm:seav) On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 9:57 PM, Totor totor_...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi everybody I put back the City in some city names in cebu : Mandaue City, Lapu-Lapu City and Danao City They were removed some time ago, and while it makes sense (unlike Cebu City, there is no Mandaue island or province...), the road signs indicate Mandaue City and Lapu-Lapu City. The address of the company I work also shows Lapu-Lapu City.

I was not able to find anything regarding this in the wiki. Probably because European names/road signs usually don't include city (as far as I know) What is your opinion ? Should we ignore the City in most of the names or add it to all? Should we add City as stated on the road signs only? Is there an official name list ? (I never heard of Manila City :) How about Carcar, Naga, Toledo, Bogo and Talisay ? Happy mapping.
