Good luck with the initiative!

Thankfully, there's Mapillary imagery available. I checked a few POIs in the area, and added fixmes. The names are descriptive, rather than the actual shop name -- but I didn't add them because I don't have the proper diacritics for the characters.

Yes, and the OpenStreetMap community is also interested in knowing whether the source and the license of your dataset is compatible for use in OSM.

It would be helpful if you can be more specific about your sources.

I'm certain that some folks from the community will find it interesting.

I agree with your observation that there's a large gap between urbanized areas and rural towns, and this really boils down to not having **local** mappers who can improve the map.

Anyway, could you elaborate about the source of your "jeepney" dataset?

Hello Vincent. How are you? Welcome to OpenStreetMap!

I'm curious about what you're trying to do here, and maybe we, in the local community can help you achieve what you're trying to do?

We have different channels listed here: osm.org/wiki/PH, in case you'd like to reach out, or have questions.

Ah, thanks for adding the wiki then. I definitely mapped these before you created the page. :D

I updated the wiki page to reflect the concepts of the original proposal page, because it was looking too much like it's just an "airport lounge" when that wasn't the intent.

I did have some doubts about that tag, but its wiki page describe it for **or elsewhere**: osm.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dlounge

More importantly, the original proposal describes it as "a comfortable waiting/recreational area" for customers and **not limited to airports**, which doesn't appear in the current version of the wiki: osm.wiki/Proposal:Lounges

Welcome to OSM, and kudos for the valuable work! Thank you for helping create a better map on OpenStreetMap.

For naming features, our practice is to avoid abbreviations, so the names you added, for example, should be "Filbert Street" rather than "Filbert St".

Depending on which map layer you might be using, the map renderer will take care of the appropriate abbreviation for you.

Good to see this familiar OSM still contributing in the region.

Kudos Totor! :)

Hello @Anim Mouse.

Thank you for checking this out. I noticed that tags already had name:left and name:right, but remembered the wiki convention for this incorrectly.

The former street name has been restored.

For features like this, the operator or brand is a helpful information to add.

That's awesome! Thank you, and welcome to OpenStreetMap (OSM).

The convention for mapping is we leave out place/branch names out of the feature name. I'll edit this for you, so you can follow what I'm saying.

If you have questions, or just keen to know more about the local communities, check out the platforms where they hang out: osm.org/wiki/PH

Hi @edwarderos! We appreciate your effort in contributing edits to OSM, which are published publicly. However, the notations you made to the feature are also public, and is not relevant for other users. We hope that you'll continue your participation, but try to keep your private noteabto yourself.

Good job! Thank you for helping make a better map. 🥳

Thank you for your edit, and helping improve the local map. 🥳

When adding names, you can avoid redundant entries by using other namespaces like short_name, alt_name, etc, to capture additional details.

You can read more about that from the wiki: osm.wiki/Names

By the way, can you confirm that this road is really a one way road? It looks odd since there's no direct route to the main road, with that one way restriction.

Thank you for fixing it, and helping make a better map! 🥳

For your convenience you can view the history here, too: https://osm.mapki.com/history/way/162052559

The last geometry edit was made 8 days ago (not a rename, as I posted earlier), and the prior name change was made in 2019.

Hi there. Thank you raising this topic.

Yes, the easist way to determine the history of OpenStreetMap (OSM) elements is the Query Feature button (it's the last button on the right panel of the screen, featuring an arrow pointing to the left, with a question mark.

In this case, the land feature was named 8 days ago.

OSM never claims to be authoritative, or official. Ergo, caveat emptor. With or without OSM, it's not hard to create fantasy maps.

Hello @Zunco☺️ . Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

You appear to trying to map something else, but you're tagging them as "camp sites."

Could you elaborate what you're trying to do?

If you're keen to learn more, or get in touch with the local OpenStreetMap community, check out osm.org/wiki/PH

Wow! Thank you for completing the street names in this area.

Let's agree to calling it "unnecessary", for the routers then. Maybe, just map the signage then?
