Hi reddevils,

You are on the right place. By the way a big Welcome from Roadguide.ph. You can download the standard map for your gps and the demo map 1.11 for your pc. If you contribute further you are entitled to the updated map 1.11. Please see the link below on how to do things here. Don't hesitate to ask for clarifications on items not clear to you.

Good luck and God bless.

hi reddevils, welcome to RoadGuide and enjoy your stay! Be sure to check out the How To and FAQ sections.. and if you are in a hurry you can load the standard map (not latest) to your gps so that you can already experience it...

Welcome to Roadguide reddevils! You're right on the dot there that some drivers in the metro are plain brutal. I'm from the province but i've driven in Manila quite a few times and it's not a pleasant experience. But you'll get used to it. And of course, the Roadguide map will help make the driving better and safer, imo. Please go over the "How to's" so you'll know how to contribute and get the much better contributor's map...
