The coordinate display at www.informationfreeway.org is what I was looking for. Wouldn't it be possible to integrate this function into the main OpenStreetMap site? I think this would definitely improve the attractiveness of the map display (even more, if degree-minute-second based coordinates would appear, too -- for many people, the decimal coordinates are not what they're used to).Just demonstrably not true. Most people don't know what co-ordinates are or care that they don't know. It would just clutter the map and make us look less usable.I could well imagine that there are people who would like to feed thecoordinates of some place they have found from the OSM map into their GPS fornavigating. Not that the coordinates need to be visible all the time.
For that you can use the permalink to get the latitude and longitude. That's what I do on a regular basis. By the time you know what latitude and longitude is, you will know what a permalink is.
