Poctol, San Juan, Batangas in OSM

Sadly, my uncle (my dad's eldest brother) passed away last week.My sister and I decided to go and visit over the weekend, having this the only free time we had. Off to San Juan, Batangas.


It's been a while since I was back and I've been wanting to gather GPS data to continue mapping roads in Google Map Maker. Once there, I borrowed a bicycle and started biking around, choosing a portion of the town I haven't been to before. After an hour or so, I have as much data I could gather.

Sunday, before going home, I went on a motorbike to visit some cousins. I then noticed that my phone then slipped out of my pocket and fell onto the road. Data. Gone.

Fortunately, my cousin was a policeman and another was the Barangay Captain there. Pulled some strings and so, I have my phone back again. Not without the phone being interested on by the person who found it.

The phone's been reset, sim card and memory card gone. Goodbye data.

I'll try again someday when I get back there.
