[talk-ph] Project NOAH-ISAIAH requires the help of the Openstreetmap Community for building footprints

[Ervin Malicdem]

Please know that DOST-Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of
Hazards) has recently launched *ISAIAH* (Integrated Scenario-based
Assessments of Impacts and Hazards)

Project NOAH has been developing hazard maps for the Philippines over the
past 3 years. And through ISAIAH, risk analysis maps will be developed this
year which needs OpenStreetMap data, specifically the building footprints,
as part of the data needed to calculate risk through a scenario-based
assessment.

We invite the OpenStreetMap community, educational institutions and LGUs to
work with us in mapping your locality.

Please use the hashtag* #ProjectNOAH-ISAIAH* on your changesets.

We have set tasks in the HOT Tasking Manager for this purpose and we
started out in the province of Cavite.


*We will be adding tasks over the coming months and post them at this email
thread.*

*More about ISAIAH and the need for OpenStreetMap data.*

For LGUs and educational institutions who are interested to learn how to
map in OSM, please refer them to Project NOAH by emailing

Re: [talk-ph] Various farmed landuses

[David Groom]

Its now been one month with no major objections to my proopesed cnages, 
so I have made them, but with the suggestion made by Eugene.


However the exisiting geometry of the landuse polygons is very messy, 
with many overlapping ways.  I am fixing these, but with over 230 ways 
to fix I wont able to do this all in one editing session, and probably 
not even all in one day.


The affected area is SW of Tacloban, Leyte at 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/11.1154/124.8905


If anyone notices the half fixed geometry do not think this is 
vanadalsim, or poor editing, it will be fixed.


Regards

David

Agree with Eugene. There are other who mapped riceland as meadows and
should be fixed as well: https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/489780

I agree with changes 2 and 3. For #1, I think it should be
landuse=farmland instead of meadow. Rice fields are far from being
meadows.

While looking at existing tagging of landuse areas in Leyte I have come
across a number which do not seem to fit the tagging structure on the
main OSM wiki, and I cant see anything in the Philippines/Mapping
conventions  which contradicts the main OSM wiki (except that under
agricultural landuse the tag landuse = farm is suggested whereas this
seems to have been deprecated in favour of landuse = farmland  -  maybe
the Phillipine / mapping conventions page is out of date?)

An example of some of the current tagging can be seen here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/11.1121/124.8899

I would like to change the following:

1) Areas currently tagged landuse = meadow; name = Ricefield   - change
to landuse = meadow; crop=rice [1]
2) Areas currently tagged landuse = farmland; name = Coco Land   -
change to landuse = orchard;  trees = coconut_palms [2]
3) Areas currently tagged landuse = orchard; crop = coconut  - change to
landuse = orchard;  trees = coconut_palms [2]

Are these 3 changes acceptable?

My one slight discomfort is that I dont like the way crop = rice is
rendered on the map, but then we should't be tagging for the rennderers
anyway!

[talk-ph] Updated Philippines map for Maps.me

[Totor]

Hi all,

I had a question from a new OSM member, when his changes would show up in 
MapsWithMe.
So I thought I would share the result here.

It looks like the last update of their map was December 15, 2015 .
On their website I saw it is possible to generate your own map. 

It was a little complicated (I had to to download about 1Gb source code, then 
compile it), but I managed to make an updated map. 
I can not find out how to make the routing file (except by making the whole 
world map, and that is way too long, and I do not have enough space on my hard 
disk to store the latest world file...).
(all is relatively clearly explained here: 
https://github.com/mapsme/omim/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md )

You can download the resulting map here (80Mb): 
http://osm.totor.ph/philippines.mwm  
The source pbf was downloaded today march 19, 2016 from Geofabrik.

Installing is manageable if you have a minimum IT knowledge.

First make sure the Maps.me app is closed.

On my Android, on the SD card there is a folder "MapsWithMe". 
Inside this folder there is folder called 151215 which contains the original 
maps from maps.me 
If you only have the Philippines in there, rename this folder to 151215old  
(this is a back-up in case something goes wrong) , then create a new folder and 
name it 151215.
If you have several maps in there, move the Philippines map files somewhere 
safe...
Put the map you downloaded from the link above in the 151215 folder.

launch maps.me to check...
You should be able to see the updated map, but you will have no more routing...

If you want to go back to the old map, close the app, then just rename the 
151215 to 151215totor (or delete it) and then rename the folder 151215old to 
151215, and all should be like before. 
(If you moved the map files instead, just move them back)
You can also simply update from the app, it will overwrite whatever map is 
there and go back to the official map.

Cheers,

Totor
