nyaks, supermapper kayo dyan, nakakahiya...talaga yan si Aileen :-) (she was probably referring to our Ondoy experience).
I only did a portion of Lupang Arenda at the request of fellow mapper Louie Galvez (Red Cross Makati) to quickly produce a sketch map and identify evacuation centers for the operations briefing of relief volunteers, donors and military. Before Ondoy, it was dangerous to map/collect data in that area due to peace&order problem, so no roadmap on Google Earth, Roadguide or OSM. I had to produce one that can be shown offline. Fortunately I still had power/internet at my house, to download/cache GE images and able to trace & describe the roads based on local knowledge & fresh POI gps/field-collected data. I observed that non-mappers easily understood/participated more in logistics planning using simple GE drawn-lines over satellite images. It worked. In just a few hours, military trucks (with Red Cross volunteers) were able to navigate in a planned route, waist-high/neck-high floods in the middle of the night (using gps); to bring relief goods to the scattered & unattended evacuation centers. True I helped made a map, but the credit should go to the ones who braved the mixed sewage-flood waist-high water. The resident-messenger I sent to survey & collect gps-data, described how dirty the water was (with floating eeky soft-brown things). He had to put his pants on a boiling water pot afterwards. :-) On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 9:22 AM, Eugene Alvin Villar <sea...@gmail.com>wrote: > > http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2011/09/philippines-hosts-summer-of-mapups-for.html > > "super mapper" Rally even has a special mention.
