GBG Angeles MapUp for the second time

A MapUp is an event in which a group of people come together to improve the places they know and like seeing it on Google Maps by using Google Map Maker. MapUps can focus on the map of a neighborhood, region, popular visitor/tourist locations or even for a particular feature such as university premises, organizational premises, personal areas, hiking trails or cycling routes. MapUps can also serve to teach new mappers how to use Google Map Maker, bring together experienced mappers, and everything in between.

Hosted by Google Business Group Angeles on the 6th of March 2014 and 27 volunteer mappers added schools, businesses, points of interest, roads, trails, and other locations to the map.




JR Padilla from GBG Dagupan taught the participants how to use Google MapMaker tool. He even showed videos of few projects of Google that are relevant to mapping.


We'd like to thank our venue partner, SPCF for letting us use the CISCO lab.

Let's continue mapping! Check our G+ Angeles City MapUp Event page for more pictures and event discussions.
