[talk-ph] how about mapping parties for car clubs/forums?

2011-06-09 Thread tutubi
i also frequent several car forums and car clubs though not actually a warm
body at EBs but many times GPS navigation is a topic.
how about reaching out to those clubs/forums to let them know how to
contiribute rather than just be passive users
and oftentimes complain of wrong data that they themselves can correct or
ping the right people

just a thought

:P

Speaking of reverse geocoding, have you seen this one by geonames?

Place, manila in textbox and press geocode to start.

Hmmm, it seems that only OSM map tiles are used as a background to the
GPS points.

It would be nice if they also used OSM data to perform reverse geocoding. :-)

They used to have it down the bottom once logged in as a client. That is
where the OpenGTS actually Starts, the rest is a custom front end.

Re: [talk-ph] Current state of GPS SatNav in the Philippines

2011-06-09 Thread Eugene Alvin Villar
>> 8. Other brands: Tomtom, Magellan, etc.: Using unknown maps, but there
>> are experimental OSM maps for Magellan.

Tomtom owns Tele Atlas, a map data company. And there are some satnav
apps that use Tele Atlas data. A prominent example is the Blackberry
Maps app. (Though Blackberry has decided to switch to Bing Maps for
new smartphones last month.)

I recently got the chance to play around with the Maps app of
Blackberry and it has detailed map data but only for Metro Manila. The
rest of the country is blank. And the data seems to be around 2009.
Surprisingly, the app uses Google Maps for search so you can find
relatively new establishments but only for coordinates.

Here's the 2009 Tele Atlas press release saying they added maps for
the Philippines (and other countries in Asia-Pacific):
http://corporate.tomtom.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=418773

So, if you have a Tele Atlas-based satnav app/device, ditch it for
practically any of the other satnav solutions on the list I provided.
Only having an outdated map of Metro Manila is not nice at all.

"No GPS"? I think Ian already has the GPStogo unit at that time. :-)

Dear everyone,

Rally and me are close to polishing the next release version of the
osmphgps garmin map.  We are looking for willing user who will test
the map in their unit.  We need to test this in as many garmin models
as possible.  If you want to become part of the testing phase, send me
a message, your garmin model type and your mode map transfer
(mapsource, direct gmapsupp copy, roadtrip, telepathy, etc)
