Hi Janet, While I know it is possible to do such things with those apps, I wouldn't know how. But it helps asking around. Or posting on their issue trackers as suggested.
Same goes for querying data provided by Osmand and maps.me editors. Must be possible, but not trivial. I think the best way would be to create an rss feed of relevant changesets (hard) , loading those in an online spreadsheet (easy) , and marking them as checked when you had a look (very easy). I think my friends in Bolivia would like to have such a thing too. Joost Op 20-apr.-2016 11:05 schreef <j.chap...@tanzdevtrust.org>: > Dear Joost > > Thanks very much for that.
