I wonder if that is something everyone wants but it's clear at least (using this basically means you want a vendor lock-in!). (in the current situation on iOS, it seems desired by users). I wonder, however, how much of this could be brought (back?) to the geo URL which is only slowly supported. All parameters there make sense for just about any other mapping system. paul
