I knew if you had a digital camera with GPS that you could load pictures from it into JOSM and the would apear at the correct location on the map. What I did not realize was that you can also use a digital camera even if it doesn't have a built in GPS receiver. This is because the camera records the time that the picture was taken. To make this work you need to start your GPS recording. Then just take photo's of any POI's that take your fancy. When you get home load the recorded track into JOSM. Then right click on the GPS layer (in the layer list), and import the photo's you took on the trip. The POI photo's are then imported at the correct location on the map. If the locations are slightly off, they can be manually adjusted, by adjusting the time offset. This could save a lot of note taking on mapping parties, as you could just take a photo of a road, and later use that to enter details of road type, surface type, etc. I find this technique works well riding shotgun in a car when on some mundane trip to the supermarket,as it enables me to record subdivision names, road names, etc without having to stop at each location.

Re: [talk-ph] GPS article
I really have second thoughts on this issue, you dont care what the machine time is you care the server time.. The next issue is that there is not a single article about ATM's failing in San Deigo in a mass scale in 2007.. That would have been big news.. The guy seems to be real, but the article is a little more fiction.. I would never use the terminals time, it is the time the termial talks to the base system that is most important which is where when the phones are down then the ATM's fail.. The codes are not based on GPS they have highly specific clocks, which is the same technology in the RSA keyrings you can buy. GPS is alot more expensive than a proper crystal..http://www.rsa.com/node.aspx?id=1311 He also mentioned the ATMS talked wirelessly, SHIT the Military had blocked that for the prupose of the exersice all wireless communication..

Instead of targeting only the car owners with the OSM Garmin map, we could also expand the market and target also the mountaineering clubs. A Garmin map that still contains roads (so the mountaineers can drive to the base camps and jump-off points) plus prominent hiking trails and contours would be a perfect addition.

In some LGUs , they have way better GIS database than what NAMRIA has. Moreover, does it make much sense to do 1:10K mapping for rugged, uninhabited areas of the Philippines? When you are looking at water flows, then this data can be very important, as it may be a drainage area for a location quite a distance away. Also when they have proper Radar installed they can then see that the rain is falling in these areas, and inform the concerned citizens miles away that they could expect a flash flood. Flash floods caused by rain in isolated areas probably kills more people, since people think it is all safe then the water rises unexpectedly elsewhere. If you are going to do a job like this it is better to do it all correctly than what they have done before which is piece meal which just adds to the frustration when disasters like this occur and you cannot even go back 20 or 40 years to get a good topographical map of the areas concerned.

Some members of the OSM-PH has started creating webmap based on OSM to document what is currently happening on the ground [2]. I appeal to the whole OSM community to help us in this project. What we currently need are: 1. A temporary server space we can use. 2. Create mashups on related information about the disaster (osm data for Metro Manila and adjacent provinces is good enough as a map background), news feeds, location of evacuation sites, missing persons list. 3. An interface in which users can report what is happening on the ground, (I'm thinking of an openstreetbug interface) i.e. This street in unpassable due to floods. This street needs water. This street has no electricity. Too much garbage on this street please collect now. This way communities can report problems and hopefully close bugs.

[talk-ph] To save the electronic items.
First thing is if you cannot do anything with them straight away place into a bucket of clean water and leave there. The cleaner the better. Next is to dry them off. If you can safely remove the case do so and let drain. If you can get alcohol pour over the device, It can damage some plastics so be careful. This will wash away excess dirt and residue but will not be completely perfect yet. Dry and shake then place into a bag with Silica Gel (the stuff in the little bags do not eat you get with vitamins and shoes.). This will remove moisture from the bag ,therefore the device will be dried slowly. Power the device up after 2 or 3 days in bag, depending on the size of the device and the amount of water you think was left in it after the shaking dry. Do Not heat the devices, LCD's and other components don't like to get hot. I dunked My phone on Saturday walking in the floods and 24 Hours of bag and Silica Gel Worked wonders. You can buy it at good Photo stores, there are other gels but im not sure how good they are. I Have two large bags of silica gel the size of two fists each, and they worked perfectly. Taking Photos in the Rain put Camera in plastic Bag and Gel in Bag, it should remove any water, or mist from the inside of the bag. This is what I have normally done for all the items I have sunk in the past..

(and they don't move..) Moving further out we have at Jupiter and Makati Ave a McDo listed but once again in the wrong place. Now does it mean that since I live here close I have to double check every week the data? What happens when I move again? Do I only add the ones I like? And then add bias to the maps? Better to exclude.. What happens if I dont like and add it in the wrong place on purpose?

Re: [talk-ph] Boracay Spam
We should have it removed. It is not a map item, It is not helpful to the rest of the users of the system. It only benefits the single person and detracts from the others. If this continues we will remove the map from our website. This is the reason we use OSM since it is clean and done professionally and with out all those entries you see on other maps like.

[talk-ph] Still need GPS Antenna.
I tried Park Square... Every place or at least I think I did. I tried out my nokia and the BT GPS unit again last weekend and the software I wrote for it, and it worked, so now I really need an external antenna for the Van.. Only one bug to fix which is the photo's they are not at full resolution... I thought I changed that before.. Then I can do the trips out of town and record the data. Anyone need the software I will upload to our site in the next few days after fixing the Photo bug.. It is written in Python and is Free.. For Nokia N70.. I will have to fix the display map portion to make it more useful. ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph

[talk-ph] Hi Guys and Gals, Open Street Map.
Hi I am going to be setting up a server using the Philippine map mainly, Later we will be using the whole planet files, But i have notice some errors in the files i have downloaded so far,Towns are categorized in the wrong province, Or if they are not then the boundaries are wrong. I would like to get all the data correct I currently use our own database of locations and Points of interest overlayed on the Google map but the google map is so far out in the streets. I saw you have meet ups at times, When is your next one? Does anyone here sell a GPS logging device. So I can send it out with my partners and others to collect data which so far has not been mapped. I have a Bluetooth device myself and i am using my own program written in Python on the N70 Nokia phone.. For that device i would like to also get an external Antenna? Or is there a good shop here in Metro Manila where i can get GPS supplies last time i tried i just got the run around or they were trying to charge me triple the actual price. Anyway guys and gals have a good week and i hope i can help you all with the great work you have done so far. P.S. Makati Police station headquarters has moved, I went to where the old one was a few weeks ago and noticed it had moved.. I will see if i can move it.. Have to work out how to use all these programs..
