Thank you, Simon. I'm not sure whether we correctly understood each other; I might have been too brief in my previous email. I am less interested in somehow finding out about the coordinates limiting the current section of the map I'm viewing but in having the coordinates *displayed* on screen while panning and zooming, and I would like to have them included in the exported maps. For many printed maps (possibly derived from exported OSM data) such borders are necessary or at least helpful (well, maybe not in the centre of some larger city). The mouse pointer coordinates would just be helpful to quickly check geographic positions.
