Hello
I have OSMAnd 3.4.6 with Osmand Live and I have made several modifications to the OSM map in the area where I live. The problem is that in the app I see the characteristics of the original map superimposed with my modifications, while in the OSM website I see only the modifications.
Thank you!

This happens sometimes.

General advice is that when editing, to the extent you can, change the
object that exists, rather than removing it and adding a new object.
This is the natural way with JOSM (and I don't know if iD tends to
replace rather than change).

I am not clear whether or not osmand live delta files contain
deletions. From your report, it seems they don't, and long ago it
seemed that way. But then a year or so ago it started to seem to me
like removed objects really were removed.

The other advice is to be patient until the 10th of next month :-)

Thank you for your advice Greg, but the problem is the same if I modify a trace, not only if I delete it and do it again It's quite annoying because the maps look really bad.
