Hello @Mig_Imperial. Thank you for fixing errors on OpenStreetMap!

If you're keen on helping to map schools in your favorite neighbourhoods, check out the OSMaPaaralan project. Project background is here: osm.org/wiki/Philippines/OSMaPaaralan

Schools are foundational infrastructure in the community, and there's an available micro-tasking challenge to help you map schools, based on some information from the Department of Education. (They've provided usable attributes to OSM, but the quality of their location attribute varies a lot, hence the error you discovered here.)

We have volunteers who focus on specific geographic regions, especially their home towns, but you're welcome to contribute anywhere.

If you want to learn how to contribute to OSMaPaaralan, check out this video: https://open.tube/videos/watch/6d5169e6-2cb0-403d-b457-6c00452f37e3

The micro-tasking challenge in the vicinity of Baao is here: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges?challengeSearch=123.33646774291994%2C13.429695112188552%2C123.42676162719728%2C13.47802730219969&keywords=osmapaaralan&location=intersectingMapBounds

Thank you for your contributions, @Mig_Imperial. I noticed that you're adding street names, too -- and that is important in helping improve the accuracy of the map.

One of the best practices in OpenStreetMap is to map buildings individually, whenever possible, and to keep corners straight ("squaring" or orthogonalized), just how typical buildings look like in real life.

If the imagery is fuzzy, or you're unable to trace individual buildings, we also use landuse=residential to mark groups of houses settlements.

If you're keen to know more mapping techniques, check out learnosm.org for self-paced learning modules

It is incorrect to add toll=yes or toll booths on drive-through service roads of fast-food establishments. Please refrain from adding any more.

Thank you for fixing.

Hi there. In case you haven't noticed, the default Bing imagery you are using are very old. Try available imagery from Maxar or ESRI instead.

See: https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/id-editor/#configuring-the-background-layer

Thanks for contributing street-level imagery via Mapillary!

I've noticed the several parking areas you've added along a road. Have you seen the parking lane tags, osm.org/wiki/Key:parking:lane ? They look more appropriate for these, since they define whether or not the highways themselves have parking, on which sides, and with which conditions.

The amenity=parking tag is more for apt for car parks.

It's good to see you back and contributing again to #OSMaPaaralan! I hope you've been doing well.

Good to see you back, editing again!

Thank you for the information, and for sharing a link to your paper: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/12/7/1880

Thank you, too, for contributing to local OpenStreetMap data. We hope your local partners will continue with the initiative.

Thank you for helping improve the map!

Hi Sheryn! I'm curious about these edits. May I know how you're using the information?

👌 You're welcome.

In case you're interested in reaching out to fellow contributors in the Philippines, this page lists several communication channels for keeping in touch: osm.org/wiki/ph

Hi there. You've been adding a lot of details to OpenStreetMap.

Kudos, and many thanks!

Kindly avoid removing is_in: tags in place features unless their boundaries are defined by ways or polygons.

Hi Delbert! Thank you for these edits

Have you tried using https://www.caresteouvert.fr/ for doing COVID-19 related updates?

The data that your app uses comes from OpenStreetMap, and the said establishment has been deleted from the database.

For now, tell your employer to check OpenStreetMap, or use OsmAnd. There's nothing you can do with maps.me until their next update.

In the future, you can edit and update the data direct on OpenStreetMap, and rest assured that all other downstream apps will *eventually* get updated -- with some quicker than others.

Stay healthy and keep safe.

If you're interested in offline mapping app that uses OpenStreetMap that updates more frequently, try OsmAnd.

Personally, I recommend the community-maintained version in F-Droid.org.

Thank you for your feedback.

Are you checking that from OpenStreetMap?

The status has been changed in OpenStreetMap, but other apps downstream could be delayed with updating their databases.

Thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap , and the #OSMaPaaralan initiative.

I just want to mention a tip: try to also refer to the Maxar imagery when tracing buildings, Bing is really sharp but too old compared to Maxar or ESRI.

Thank you for continuing to contribute to the OSMph's community mapping project, #OSMaPaaralan

I hope all is well with you!
