Better than that: http://johnmckerrell.com/map/#t=mobile&lat=51.47935&lon=-0.20205&zf=15 Notice how the title and some of the page content reacts to the location of the map? If we could do some similar trickery so that the name of the place shows up in e.g. the title attribute of the page in the initial html (can be overwritten by js later when panning), then any permalink to the page will have search-engine friendly geolocation automatically. Removes the need for separate pages. Cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
