Here's an example: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=28.332798,-81.491435&spn=0.001929,0.00515&t=k&z=19&layer=c&cbll=28.332797,-81.491264&panoid=s34bEpDWqe-ThdTF0X38uQ&cbp=12,103.59,,0,2.84 _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
