[OSM-dev] Export tab
I often find myself wanting an OSM map url to a map with a marker to send in an email. I can do this with the Export Embeddable HTML, add marker, and then editing the HTML to extract the link (which also means changing the amps), or it can be done manually by tediously copying a lat/lon and typing them in as mlat and mlon in an addition to the link... Any chance this could be done as a minor change to the site, added as an option directly? Either as: - another option on the Export tab, like the Embeddable HTML but with just the link to copy and paste, or - a general add marker option somewhere with the marker reflected in the permalink and short link or something similar. I'd do it myself, but I don't know Rails at all well. David ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

The easiest way is to get the shortlink URL and append ?m to the end.

There are some other options, too: http://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/25/how-do-i-add-a-marker-to-a-map Nevertheless, it would be nice to be able to do this on openstreetmap.org's /graphical/ user interface. I don't consider any solution based on URL editing easy (or user friendly). Tobias Knerr ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

And the next easiest way is to get the permalink and add m in front of lat and lon. But, the challange is to get lat and lon right.

That only marks the centre of the map, which requires some careful judgement, rather than being able to point at the desired feature.

Easy: double click in the centre of the map (and then zoom out if required) and the map will be centred on the point that you have double clicked.
