im using a nokia 5800 with a garmin mobile xt on it. i surf every month and it involves a lot of traveling (baler aurora, daet camarines norte, real quezon, zambales, la union). is it possible to add surf spots as POI in our maps so that adveturers and the like can type in "surf spots" and point them to the different spots in the Philippines? thanks guys

hi dino, welcome to RoadGuide and enjoy your stay!
Be sure to read the How To Section, learn to contribute if your time permits, so that you can get the Contributor's version of the map. It's awesome!
if you have any questions at all feel free to ask..

On surf spots, I believe you can add them as waypoints. This is the same with resorts or beaches... Watch this thread for additional info from the veterans...

hi dino.
welcome to roadguide. nice sport.
yes i believe its possible. just make sure to comply with waypoints standard in how to section pointed out by razorspells.
and while your at it, pls check if tracks going to this surf spots are existing in our map, if not you may submit it also.
although 1-sec tracks is preferable, you can submit xt tracks for roads not yet on map.
if not accessible to cars, you can label it as footpath. check track standard also in how to section.
hoping to see your contributions soon.

Hi Dino and welcome to Roadguide. Yes you can upload the surf spots. Just include "surf spot" in the label so when we do a search, key word would be "surf spot". And maybe a "beach" icon can be used. Hope to see your contributions soon...

The latest map which is demo v1.08. And not only for tracks but also for waypoints.

2. how to make 1-sec tracks?
With XT? Please read this http://roadguide.ph/forums/showthread.php?t=224. Please be reminded that the resolution of tracks generated by XT is not that good. But in the absence of other tracks, it's better than nothing...

3. Philippines routable 5.08?
What's the question?

Please do go over the "How to's" as your questions have been covered and answered many times already. But if there are topics you think needs to be clarified, then ask away...

hi dino,

v5.08(5.17) is the free map that you can install on your unit. it's also known as a teaser map coz we're using the more detailed v1.08 contributors map.(as of this writing)

how to get the v1.08... simple... contribute...(not money) please read the "HOW TO" section

what is philippine routable 5.08 for?

Ok, that's clearer now. The Philippine Routable v5.08 (will appear as 5.17 in mapsource) is the FREE Roadguide map that you can download and install/use in your GPS even without contributing anything...
