Re: [talk-ph] Fw: Philippines
I joined the Typhoon Ondoy Google Groups ( http://groups.google.com/group/typhoonondoy) and brought up the OSB map and the use of OSM tiles as an alternative layer for areas where Google Maps is poor (like Laguna). Anyway, check out this interface they developed incorporating OSM Mapnik tiles as another layer to the default Google Maps tiles. http://www.google.com/maps/mpl?moduleurl=http://sugo-katta.appspot.com/neoMapplet35.xml The discussion there is centering towards aggregating all the disparate data into a unified repository of sorts. This will include rescue, relief, rehabilitation, and rebuilding data.

This will include rescue, relief, rehabilitation, and rebuilding data. Nice! The interface looks cool. But I can't seem to get it working. I tested submitting reports but I can't add an address nor a point. There are no reports generated (probably my poor internet connection). A couple of questions: 1. Do I need a google account to submit reports? 2. Is it possible to close/fix a report? Other than that, the design is excellent especially when we can aggregate other info. A major plus factor to google is the aerials, even when there is no roads we can at least pinpoint a location by looking at the imagery. (You don't need 6.5 B PHP to do this btw, pun intended) On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 12:22 PM, Mikel Maron mikel_ma...@yahoo.com wrote: Received the message below from MapAction .. major kudos, plus requests for data, if there's any possibility of collecting it. - Forwarded Message From: Andrew Smith Subject: RE: Philippines Hi Mikel, Thanks for your email.
