This should normally reveal the details. For tracking changes to the objects of your reviews you should not rely on ids, rather define what is the object of your review (e.g. "a fast food restaurant of the McDonald's brand" around a certain location), It can be done with the overpass api and there are examples somewhere in the wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Permanent_ID cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
