thanks for the help, tom and john. the link i sent was actually a guess, didn't realise i'd hit on the right syntax it didn't show, cos the marker was off the visible area what i actually was driving towards, but explained badly, was a button that anyone could click at the edge of the map, then anywhere on the map to place the marker. i suggested this rather than adding numbers to the url, as the latter is probably beyond the average users of the map - if not in technical skills, then at least in patience i'm sure there must be way to do this without mangling urls? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
