[talk-ph] mapping for idps due to biff operation

[maning sambale]

Gaddy one of our map supporters in ARMM posted in fb the appoximate
affected area of the current military operation. It almost the size of
Metro Manila. IDPs is estimated to be 15k families (75k individuals).

If you have time to improve the map please do so if in case humanitarians
need it.

Tnx.

cheers,

[talk-ph] Cebu road classification

[Totor]

Hi all,

Just a little note to let you know that in order to be compliant with DPWH's 
Philippine National Highway Network (NHN) map, the OSM map here in Cebu city 
has now become misleading in my opinion.

People not used to drive here, might now prefer the narrow old bridge over the 
wide UN avenue and Marcelo Ferman bridge, and will pass in the center of Cebu, 
rather than taking the SRP/south coastal road (probably a trunk road if it 
wasn't for the traffic lights)... and will get stuck in traffic...

I know that road classification is not easy, when official classification, 
purpose, traffic density and state (quality) of the roads don't match each 
other.
I always left the classification more of less as it was, because I really don't 
know how to do it right.
Following the official classification seems to be a reasonable choice. 
I'm just not sure that it is helping the every day map-users.


Cheers,

Totor
