Re: [talk-ph] Philippines Territorial Border
Hi, Woah! 31 pages, I'm not that interested :-) Anyway feel free to edit the border, and remove the Spratley's if you wish. I had thought Wikipedia would have nice maps of all the countries borders, and lists of the co-ordinates, yet here we are in the 21st Century and people are still fighting over borders.

Re: [talk-ph] Philippines Territorial Border
The borders are actually based on a treaty defined by the United States when they bought the Philippine islands and are specified by coordinates. You can learn more from here: http://www.hawaii.edu/aplpj/articles/APLPJ_10.1_bautista.pdf The problem is that those coordinates are not in WGS84 and we don't know what geodetic system was used. Here's an older discussion on this mailing list about the border: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ph/2010-March/001876.html On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 4:32 AM, Ian Haylock wrote: > Hi, > > Actually the part of the border covering the Spratly Islands has been there > for years, that's why I cant understand why no-one has finished the border > before now. > > Though it did take me hours to find that one map showing the border, maybe > everyone else just gave up looking. > > Cheers, Ian > > On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 11:14 PM, Eugene Alvin Villar > wrote: >> >> I wonder if we'll have an edit war with neighboring countries over the >> Spratlys. :-P >> >> >> On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 12:38 PM, Ian Haylock wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > I've just updated the Territorial border for the Philippines. >> > >> > I used the map available here : >> > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ph_Territorial_Map.png >> > >> > I don't know how to make this png a background in JOSM, so I just did a >> > best >> > guess for the points. >> > >> > Hopefully I haven't messed up the relation doing this. >> > >> > Hopefully now Mapfactors Navigator Free map generator should work >> > automatically. >> > >> > If you haven't tried Navigator Free, it's worth a try, map rendering is >> > much >> > faster on my GPS than Garmin Mobile XT, which keeps my GPS running at >> > 100% >> > CPU usage. >> > >> > Cheers, Ian >> > >> > P.S. >> > >> > I know, I know, I forgot to change the tag for the changeset.

Re: [talk-ph] Philippines Territorial Border
Hi, Actually the part of the border covering the Spratly Islands has been there for years, that's why I cant understand why no-one has finished the border before now. Though it did take me hours to find that one map showing the border, maybe everyone else just gave up looking.

Re: [talk-ph] Philippines Territorial Border
I wonder if we'll have an edit war with neighboring countries over the Spratlys. :-P On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 12:38 PM, Ian Haylock wrote: > Hi, > > I've just updated the Territorial border for the Philippines. > > I used the map available here : > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ph_Territorial_Map.png > > I don't know how to make this png a background in JOSM, so I just did a best > guess for the points. > > Hopefully I haven't messed up the relation doing this. > > Hopefully now Mapfactors Navigator Free map generator should work > automatically. > > If you haven't tried Navigator Free, it's worth a try, map rendering is much > faster on my GPS than Garmin Mobile XT, which keeps my GPS running at 100% > CPU usage. > > Cheers, Ian > > P.S. > > I know, I know, I forgot to change the tag for the changeset.

[talk-ph] Philippines Territorial Border
Hi, I've just updated the Territorial border for the Philippines. I used the map available here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ph_Territorial_Map.png I don't know how to make this png a background in JOSM, so I just did a best guess for the points. Hopefully I haven't messed up the relation doing this. Hopefully now Mapfactors Navigator Free map generator should work automatically. If you haven't tried Navigator Free, it's worth a try, map rendering is much faster on my GPS than Garmin Mobile XT, which keeps my GPS running at 100% CPU usage. Cheers, Ian P.S. I know, I know, I forgot to change the tag for the changeset. I tried to revert the changeset then re upload it with the correct tag, but just got an error :-( So I left it as it is. ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
