Hi guys,

I made a follow-up to the node density visualization I shared back in
March. This time, the map shows the node increase compared to the data
of the original map. Similar to before, brighter pixels represent
areas with higher node count increases. Gray pixels show the original
data as a baseline.

You can view it here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/5/56/Philippines_node_density_increase_from_2012-01-02_to_2012-06-03.png

For comparison here's the original map:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/8/81/Philippines_node_density_2012-01-02.png

Take note that this is not a map of editing activity! It only merely
shows node density increases. (So if someone deleted a node in an area
and another one created a node, there will be no change in the node
counts.) But this visualization does somewhat indicate where new data
is being added.

It's nice to see that most parts of the Philippines have seen an
increase in data. You can see the obvious effect of the new Bing
imagery that was released back in February as bright rectangular
areas.

Nice work everyone! Let's keep it up! :-)

Eugene
