Geo-Walk Angeles City

GBG Angeles conducted its second Angeles City Geo-Walk. This time, we chose to map the businesses near Angeles University Foundation. Students from City College of Angeles, AMA Computer College, and other colleges participated in this event. Participants don't really have an idea what's Geo-Walk and how it is to be done. But they're on their game face.

We divided the participants into three groups: Zone A, Zone B, and Zone C. Each group has its own area to map. We asked them to visit each establishments and talk to the business owner to get the necessary information like business name, working hours, address, website, email address, phone numbers and even take pictures of the facade.

Participants who are not included in the groups stayed in the HQ where they're in charge of mapping. Richard Liloc, an active-mapper based in Angeles taught our mappers the basic of adding and editing places on the map using Google MapMaker. He also introduced Panoramio, a tool where you can upload photos of the place you mapped.

Of course, the best part in our event - Pizzas!

And.

Groupie!

We'd like to thank our venue partner Angeles University Foundation, Sir Richard Liloc, and GBG Angeles.

Till the next mapping!
