I talked with the BacolodCity user and I'd like to believe that the track is
real. It's not the raw track but a collection of simplified tracks
cleaned-up in a Garmin software called Training Center. If you look at the
raw GPX file (it's XML after all), you'll see that there are many tracks in
the GPX file. It just looks messy on the OSM page since all these tracks
were connected end-to-end.

This is a different case from the earlier Bacolod problem we had.

[talk-ph] Can any body help MTBBCD ?

2010-04-03 Thread Totor
Hi everybody,

Can anybody please help user MTBBCD.
He/she is using JOSM and has troubles with a red line.
I'm not using JOSM, and do not understand Tagalog...
(and unfortunately Google translations are not that good)
Please correct my answer if needed:

I think it would be better to reply in Tagalog. 

Thanks

Have you seen the Haiti video by ITO world (can't find the link at the
moment)?  That kind of OSM p0rn will be available to the public after
Easter (as per initial teaser announcement). :)

Can't wait!

I advise not to, although, this is of minimal use when compared to the

As per agreed PH practices, Street or St is not necessary.  But Road
or Avenue is OK.

But it all depends on how you collect data.  If you feel your data is
more accurate, please adjust them.

Re: [talk-ph] Is this a "bad sign" for OSM-PH? (or just a very disgruntled user)

2010-04-03 Thread maning sambale
In most cases it is not vandalism, just an overeager user.

Several things of importance to me in this "case" (taken from totor's
conversations):
1.  He (let's assume a male user) mentioned that he is a Bacolod
resident, therefore he knows more of the area than any of us.  It
would be good if we can convert him to be a good OSMer rather than
label his contributions as outright vandalism.
2.  He also mentioned that there were roads there already but
disappeared for some unknown reason.  He maybe pertaining to the
bacolod case last february.
http://www.mail-archive.com/talk-ph@openstreetmap.org/msg01793.html
It would be good to point out that the previous contributions were
removed because the editor admitted that the source was not fit for
OSM's purpose.
3.  He is a having a difficult time uploading his traces, can we just
teach him how to do it?

i think the sign of him vandalizing the map is enough regardless of any 
editing dispute
