This page contains concluded, ongoing, recurring and planned OpenStreetMap-related tasks and projects undertaken independently by this contributor or by collaborating with other contributors.
One of my recurring tasks is to provide the UP Los Baños community with the most complete digital map of the area. Most edits in the area were undertaken between 2009 and 2017 Screenshot taken on October 31, 2010
Panic editing, Yahoo was in the process of phasing out its imagery
Add landuse, swimming pools, basketball courts, water towers, and buildings between Los Baños and San Pedro, Laguna

Additional task: adjust POI's to the right offset. Task deemed complete as contributors have independently worked on this task but would need some cleanup.
