Im sure some of you already came across this awesome project, perhaps some got addicted to it (im one!).

But to those who haven't, may i introduce this (http://www.openstreetmap.org) to you.

In a nutshell, this is a Wiki (but in mapping way) of the globe's road networks. Philippines included, but still needs a lot of TLC's :). Its an open source-like so im sure it'll pick your interest.

Early warning though: derived works (that is tracing from google earth) is highly prohibited due to license limitations.

Just wanted to share an example. A recently opened tollway exit, and an updated map in a short period of time.
