Here's how #OpenStreetMap fared in the #Philippines last May: map edits ⯯, total editors ⯯.

The dent in numbers appears due to the significant drop-off in edits made by organized editing teams working in PH.

Stats are closer to what *local* editing is like.

I wonder what's going to happen to Amazon's own #OpenStreetMap mapping team?

#Maproulette is down again? 😢

Our own #OpenStreetMap contributor from the #Philippines, Nalie is featured in this episode of #geomob:

According to #OpenStreetMap data, the top 10 provinces* in the #philippines with the most number of bike shops.

The surprising top province is #Iloilo, ahead only by one shop over Eastern Manila District (2nd District, NCR)

Items prefixed with asterisks ("*" are the sub-districts of the national capital region, and are not provinces. The NCR is the only region in the Philippines, not composed of provinces.

We also have a number of provinces with ZERO bike shops in OSM. 👀

It's close, but it's just called #CyclOSM , @CarefreeCarfree

It's OSM, and awesome. 😉

Everyone says it's impossible to cycle safely in London. In fact, there's already a huge network of cycle lanes and quiet streets (obvs more needed!). But finding them is really hard. Here's our guide to finding safe cycle routes using @openstreetmap : https://www.carefreecarfree.com/blog/how-to-plan-safe-cycle-routes-par…

Editors from known organized editing teams contribute significantly. According to the data 36/50, and 65/100 of the top contributors are from OETs.

Also, 80% (+3%) of the #OSMaPaaralan data has been reviewed, with 8,081 tasks remaining.

Here's how #OpenStreetMap fared in the #Philippines last April: map edits ⯯, total editors ⯭.

There was a huge jump in the number of editors adding data to the map, although total map changes actually dropped compared to March.

Thank you for contributing!

Somebody asked: how do get to nearby #communityPantry stops curated by #SaanYanPH volunteers with #OpenStreetMap apps?

With OSM data, it will use routable bike lanes whenever possible, and will create an optimal route for cyclists, not for a motorist.

For detailed instructions, see: https://hackmd.io/aW8mju6YSZK8lTVcOx1l-A?view

It's always interesting to find unattributed, copy-pasted #OpenStreetMap maps.

Here's an annotated OSM map by a city in the southern Philippines, announcing their bike lane plans [0], and how the data is actually like in OSM. [1]

Maari mong icheck ang detalye ng mga community pantry sa pamamagitan ng pagclick sa mga pin sa mapa.

Maaari ring magdagdag ng pins o mismong mga community pantry sa kanilang mga lokasyon sa mapa. Heto ang guide:

New infrastructure for sustainable, #GreenMobility is getting more evident.

Still confused with road signs. How's the blue sign different from the yellow one, indicating the cycling lane on a road? One is by DPWH, and the other is by an LGU?

No wonder we're missing all those features --- they've been having a conference here.
