I assume I need to manually download these and put them in the right directory on my Android? Do you know if there is a way to have Maps.me point to this directly and natively update maps using this? Unless this is improved my Maps.me by default it won't get solved for the majority of editors.

I'm on Android. With Maps.me I can download whole countries in advance and work offline which is important when you're paying per MB. With Vespucci I believe it calls the OSM API directly to download a region, not practical for downloading a whole country in advance (or not possible if you don't set out to do mapping in the first place). I tried Vespucci a while back and just tried it out again now, I find the UI a bit clunky it just presents me with dots and lines (no background map because I'm offline), Maps.me is very simple, easy and fast to use, which is the key. Also because I use Maps.me for day to day navigation I already have it open and may see things missing while I'm navigating, if I can edit straight in the same UI it's faster and easier than branching off to another app to edit. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
