Hi Severin
I received your mail while on vacation, when I got back there were a lot
of things to do at work and in private life so this mail slipped down in
the list.
At a quick glance some of the countries are already available through
application.
My plan is to get OSMAND to include ALL of the countries in the world.
Africa was the starting point because it had only few of them available.
I can add the missing ones as soon as i get some free time to create
appropriate boundary.
OSMAND team asked not to create to much overlap with countries so I use
max 1km offset from country border and simplify it as much as possible.
If you want you can help and create *.poly files for missing countries.
Regards
Hrvoje

Dear Hrvoje,
Thank you very much for having added Mali, Chad and Burundi to the list
of countries to download in OSMAND.
Would it be possible to add a few African countries again?
* Sudan, where Khartoum is currently hit by large floods
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Sudan_floods)
* Central African Republic where the situation, if not broadcasted is
becoming totally dramatic. We have a request from MSF Spain (cced)
that would make a great use of it in the field. The crisis in
Central African Republic is not mediatised at all, but the
population is facing some real issues, including hunger now (see
this article
<http://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2013/07/09/la-penurie-alimentaire-menace-la-centrafrique_3445128_3212.html>
from Le Monde that you can easily read with an online translation)
* Togo, where we have an ongoing field mission, as part of the EOF
project <http://hot.openstreetmap.org/projects/espace_osm_francophone_0>
* Cameroon, where a very dynamic community is working
* Malawi, where the mapping possibilities could rise soon
Beyond this, it would be great if all the African countries could be
added in the future.
If ever we can help eg by providing the boundaries in any format, please
just ask.
Sincerely,
Severin

Hi Severin
Didn't had time to work on this, bunch of deadlines at work so had to
put aside everything else. Will try to do it in next few days.
Sorry

Hrvoje
