Hi guys,
I'm looking at the basic OSM map, and I see that it has (more og less complete?) administrative boundaries on province level. It looks like the dataprovider for the provincial boundaries are NAMRIA, The National Mapping and Resource Information Authority, (tag Source=NAMRIA topo)
My interest is primarily Western Mindanao, and I as far as I can see, OSM lacks data on administrative boundaries below province level, e.g. municipaiity and barangay there. Maybe thats the case in for the rest of the Philippines too?
It would have been really cool if we could add more administrative boundaries in OSM. Could it in some way be possible to have NAMRIA provide OSM with administrative boundary data? Do you have knowledge on their policy on distributing map data? National mapping authorities in many european countries have made such content free and reuseable for all.(open access)
