In addition to the query parameters mentioned above you can refine your query by specifying (1) a list of countries and (2) a list of additional topics.
Select one or more countries in the drop down menu. You can use this filter to make sure that the summary statistics and timeline statistics correspond only to your countries of interest. You can use the buttons below the drop down menu to select a pre-defined list of countries which refers to the countries covered by HOT's regional hubs.
If you are interested in more detailed statistics beyond building and road mapping you can select one or more additional topics in the drop down menu. Each topic represents a specific subset of OSM mapping activity. Check below for a detailed description of each topic.
Update Big Number Calculation Information
I would adjust this section on the website and put the information into a table. This will make it easier for us to add more and more topics.
the first sentence of the description can be used as a tooltip
use the icons that you already use on the website
I would adjust the note about negative numbers. Just put this note on top or below the table
