[talk-ph] Ifugao's southeastern border

2011-02-11 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
Ifugao's southeastern border looks like it should follow Magat River
and it is currently placed about 1 km east of the river:
http://osm.org/go/4z1w8Lq--

The river was presumably traced from Landsat which may be off by up to
50 meters.

The borders were taken from NAMRIA topomaps and I have no idea if
these are properly rectified.

I'm inclined to delete the border along this part and transfer the
tags to the corresponding parts of the river.

What do you guys think?

Re: [talk-ph] Nokia Maps

2011-02-11 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
There's some discussion about this at the main OSM mailing list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/talk@openstreetmap.org/msg36237.html

In short, it's too early to tell what will happen.

I don't mind the Nokia thingy as long as they continue to let OSM
trace from Bing Maps. :-)

[talk-ph] Nokia Maps

2011-02-11 Thread Wayne Manuel
What do you guys think about the implications of Nokia choosing the Windows
platform? Specifically, regarding this point:

   -
   Nokia Maps will be a core part of Microsoft’s mapping services. For
   example, Maps would be integrated with Microsoft’s Bing search engine and
   adCenter advertising platform to form a unique local search and advertising
   experience.

 How will Microsoft integrate this with their current OpenStreetMap
initiative?

[talk-ph] Proposal: araneta avenue as trunk

2011-02-11 Thread tutubi
trunk hunting mode :P

araneta is a wide road that connects Caloocan to QC to Manila and San Juan.
it's other end is connected to 5th ave/C3 and linked with R10 of Navotas and
Malabon, another trunk road

Quezon Avenue and 5th avenue/C3 are already trunk roads...
doesn't araneta deserve the same?

how about Bonifacio that links it to NLEX, EDSA, Quezon city and Manila?
 it's a logical move at a certain zoom level where the linked roads should
be easily spotted.

this has the added benefit of optimized routing. from Quezon Avenue to
Makati, my garmin prioritizes Espana (then Lacson to Osmena HW),
that we all know is always slow moving against the faster pace of travel on
araneta (that's why i pass there everyday)

if not agreeable, suggest we downgrade 5th ave. to primary to be consistent


thanks,
