Me
I am CodentGIS (or cccr210), and I have started contributing to OpenStreetMap at June 23, 2025. My interest of contributing stemmed from a hobby of drawing maps of fantasy civilizations on a blank paper, ever since my youthhood.
Before I found OpenStreetMap, I used to volunteer to map for Google Maps. I edited and submitted data, but wasn’t an employee. Later on, I found out that Google Maps’ depiction of the barangay boundaries in my home city, Cauayan, was inaccurate. Hence, I scouted online to look for a more accurate map. Later, I found the official map on the LGU website. Excited, I tried to edit the boundaries in Google Maps. Unfortunately, it doesn’t let me. So I requested a change on their forum, but nothing happened. No change. Frustrated, I scouted for an alternative. There I found OpenStreetMap. I realized I had already made an account on this a year earlier, in 2024, but never really minded to do something with it. My first edits were in 2025, and was about adding road names, before testing out the big stuff.
Contributions
I actively contribute mainly in the Cagayan Valley Region, Philippines, though in some cases in Fort McMurray, Canada as well, mainly in the category of administrative boundaries. I do wander off of my category during times when I am not communicating with government agencies, or have no existing boundaries near or in the based area to modify.
Here's a few examples of my contributionsː
