Mapping Enthusiast

Google Maps recently launched its official Google Map Maker Community, and there were a lot of responses from Map Maker users around the world. I also noticed that their local Map Maker communities have their own logos, and Map Maker Philippines currently hasn't posted anything yet. Out of spare time, I made one to suggest:

Hopefully fellow mappers would approve.

I've already changed my profile pic... hehehe... would be cool if our friends are okay with it.

Actually, about 4,000+ (approved) edits and 200+ reviews. I'm just happy Map Maker has some way of recognizing contributors to Maps; makes this hobby of mine more satisfying. :-)

Mapping San Juan, Batangas

Since losing my phone and eventually getting it back last June, I haven't had the chance to go back to San Juan, Batangas to try and gather GPS data again. So I looked for other ways to get geo information that I can use to do mapping. I am unable to map directly into Map Maker because Google Maps hasn't updated their satellite imagery of San Juan yet and all you can see is a blur.

How to Use MyTracks to Help Editing Roads in MapMaker

I came about using MyTracks for Android when my friend Kevin shared his post about motorbiking. After a while, we came to ask, "How can we use our MyTracks information to edit roads in MapMaker?" We both knew that most provincial roads have not been mapped yet, or mapped incorrectly, in Google Maps. The outright answer at the time was to open the MyTracks information in Google Maps on one window, and edit the same location in Google MapMaker on another window. Just Alt-Tab to switch back and forth while editing. Doable, but good luck with that.

Just dawned on me today. I could use the KML information uploaded by MyTracks as an overlay on MapMaker. Then it will be my guide on editing road features on the map. That was easy!

Add the KML as an overlay in MapMaker

Edit!

I can't wait to go to San Juan, Batangas and do it!

No Ticket, No Pay

Hi! Welcome to the rantings of a metro commuter. Here I will be posting my thoughts about travel, commuting, places, and observations as I course through my daily commute.

I like to use Google Maps looking for places I have been to and those I've never been to. It's my handy guide to where I would like to go, what transit to use, what best route to take whenever I need to go somewhere. My dream? An android phone with GPS, Google Maps on browser, and I go anywhere I want. (Time and budget permitting of course.)

So ready your fare, be sure of your destination, and be careful stepping out on the road.
