I opened an issue about this a year ago and apparently it came up in an EWG meeting as well. But talk and issues don't write code. https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/385 Toby On Aug 16, 2014 8:10 PM, "colliar" wrote: > Am 16.08.2014 08:28, schrieb Maarten Deen: > > On

Uhm, no, that's not it... Look at http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/57.9221/12.5033&layers=N for example. Also, at least 40-50 notes have been created on this exact location: http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/215471 That leads me to believe that that position is the "zero position" of the app us
