I was about to ask the same question if I need to add the province and town information on my edits :P
Note that I use the GPS mainly for wifey who's so direction-challenged. I usually check routing to/from our home/office so she won't get lost. She knows how to use the "Go home" function and so far OSM didn't fail her. I just told her to be wary sometimes when things don't seem right as there are some errors I discovered but left uncorrected (either I don't know how (turn restrictions) or it's not easy (e.g. the case of non-existing center islands yet present on Frisco (QC) and Ortigas Avenue (cainta) ) in many cases, a short phone call and I'll navigate for her by describing the landmarks and street names on the phone. She has yet to know how to use the map (well, she can't read maps accurately anyway) then Go function -- --- I explore, therefore I blog! http://www.backpackingphilippines.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/Backpacking-Philippines/173892048760 On Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 11:12 AM, maning sambale <emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com > wrote: > Dear ax, > > Some people find it useful, some don't.
