Did you view source for the frame or the original page? The address not changing is an indication that frames is at work. When you click on the button it is loading two different pages in two different frames. The map page is static, the other frame uses a bunch of client side script to generate a URL to make the request. Check the source of the right frame and see if that helps. Alternatively if you use a real browser like Firefox there are extensions you can use to see all of the header information sent in the HTTP request which would show you exactly how to emulate your transaction.
