Mapaholic Discoveries

Posted by JdiTolipas on 3 October 2019 in English.

Roads lead us to destinations, and maps, as our guides to a journey. Wherever our feet may take us– to the known or the unknown, we could always find our way and discover more of where we are or where we might be with a good map on our hands. I am Josef Ree Diamond Cusi, a first-timer in verifying and modifying streets, roads and area details but a solid user of online maps. And so here I am, finally, discovering more options to choose from instead of a built-in app that limits my capability on verifying whether the road will literally take me to where I ought to be. With OpenStreet Map, I was opened to the wide range of information a map could offer. From the most visible details like a city landmark or roads to the simplest information in an area such as a fire hydrant, a bench or a mere garbage bin, OpenStreet Map offers such information. More to that, the public is capable of verifying whether such areas, landmarks or roads exists so the validity of datas are proven. The opportunity of learning OSM #Mapatime Sessions gives us an edge on contributing to the needs of map users. So far, the most fun activity in this session is school mapping. Hoping that OSM will continue these activities in far future.
