Maning, I've done almost all the major streets of Magalang, which is just near Angeles, and a few bits and bobs in Angeles (such as the expressway exit), Arayat and Mexico. I am new to OSM, so I am learning while doing. Can you direct me to a couple of examples of "unconnected intersections" and te

[talk-ph] export current place names and relation

Eugene, I think what you suggest sound sensible. Could we use this as a rule of thumb: "If it has a door out to street level, then it can be mapped as a POI". This way, a shop or fast foot outlet in a mall can be mapped only if they have a separate entrance. All other shops are *inside* the mall. T
