One question: Where do you people find time to go out and look for things to contribute? I mean, you guys seem to work at it like it was your job. Me? I can barely survive the office rat race.

What's your secret?
I simply keep using it everytime I drive... anything I see worth publishing, I record it in my Garmin... :-) There are a lot believe me! One road trip from Muntinlupa to Calamba resulted to 60 waypoints.. imagine that.. it will slow you down though cause you have to stop and type in... but it's worth it!

I totally agree, actually if you are really into it you will almost surely find at least one new contribution per normal workday, and that considering that my day to day life revolves within a 1 kilometer radius (No need to feel sorry for me).
Also even just by browsing through our latest map, ie. version 1.21 just a few seconds ago I found quite a lot of contribution opportunities in the form of misplaced or misaligned POIs vs. the Roads. It is a simple contribution that makes going out of the house unnecessary but it is still a very important one for everyone using the Map!
So in short those that get Senior contributors and above are just plain Addictus Roadguidii
congratulations also to new Senior Contributors sioks and Legtu.
congrats kuyas legtu and sioks!
@kuya sioks: age is really a factor.

Good for you guys. As for me, I'm now what you'd call a "had been" contributor. After the change in my job role last year, it totally affected my lifestyle. Although it has better pay, I spend more time pencil-pushing and less wandering about, scaring pedestrians as I park besides them to type in new POIs.
But yeah, I'll begin correcting POI placements and other errors on the map that the other guys managed to mess up. A subdued thanks to them also, for giving people like me some work to do, even just sitting in front of the computer.
