Adding Jeep lines to OpenStreetMap (part 3)
Channel: HikeAndMap
Date: 2023-03-12

If you get your hands on Jeep information from your local LGU and wish to add these to OpenStreetMap - there are some considerations about conflicting information:
1) official route
2) official alternatives
3) temporary deviations
4) physical reality on the ground.

There's no recipe for all here - so you really gotta consider yourself what's the most applicable choice for every situation - while maintaining the core principle of OSM - Physical reality on the ground

This core principle sounds like:"oh, just stick to facts" as I point out in this video - even facts can be interpreted different.

Also the facts known to you might be different from person to person - the thing with OSM is:"it's all fine! Don't be afraid to make mistakes, that's fine too! If you don't know everything, again just fine!"

Just start mapping - the community will contact you on your OSM Account and send you messages to help you, inform about mistakes and errors, invite you to discussions. It's a learning curve still - even for those who are at it for years.

If you're a citizen of Baguio/Benguet and wish to join the mapping community or simply wish to improve the map in your neighbourhood/sitio/barangay - feel free to contact me on Telegram  or Facebook @HikeAndMap

Happy mapping!
