Tools for notes:
- Download OSM Notes as GPX file from a boundingbox using a tool by richlv in perl, or a tool by SomeoneElse in java (which can also get "fixmes"). The Notes #Notes API also supports GPX format directly.
- Download OSM Notes as KML file via http://harrywood.co.uk/maps/notes/kml/ (e.g. for MAPS.ME bookmarks)
- A bookmarklet: that links a Note to an overpass-turbo query of the map data at the time of Note creation. Helpful to understand if an issue has been fixed or not.
