Re: [OSM-talk] Zoom to search results on the map
You can hit the "back" button in the browser to go back to the list after clicking on one (this is not obviously communicated to the user but it does work). I agree in general though that this part of the site is not great UI wise. Not sure what to do to change it for the better, but it definitely could use work. I guess one improvement would be a "back" or "return to search results" kind of button when you click on something. Yes you can use the browser back button to do this now, but there is no conveyance in the UI that this is an option. Adding an explicit button would go a long way on the usability front. -AndrewBuck On 10/26/18 1:26 AM, Maarten Deen wrote: When you search on something in the searchbox on openstreetmap.org that returns multiple results, the map moves to the first result and when you hover over the result it displays a marker.

Suppose this is not what you're looking for, you now have to enter the search parameters again and nominatim now searches from the last point the map was centred at. So the search results differ from the first try. Now you have to remember what results you've looked at so you don't look at them again. Is there no way to show the second, third, etc, result on the map without removing the search results?

Works for google searchers too. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
