Opens the place you're looking at in other maps, satellite imagery, street photos and OpenStreetMap editors and tools. | ||||||||||||||||||||

This browser extension[1] is available for Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers[2] and for Mozilla Firefox (Desktop[3] and Android[4]).
It opens the place you're looking at in other maps and tools, at the same position and zoom. It reads the map position (zoom, latitude and longitude) and OpenStreetMap attributes (user name, node, way, relation and changeset IDs, tags) from the current page — including Google Maps and Wikipedia articles with coordinates — and lists the editors (iD, Rapid, JOSM), thematic maps, satellite imagery, street-level photos, history and data quality tools that can open them. Tools are grouped by category and can be searched. In a nutshell, this extension is a superior alternative to Bookmarklets.
Since 2026 the extension is maintained by Erick de Oliveira Leal, with the support of the original author, who transferred the Firefox listing and the translation project. It was migrated to Manifest V3, so it works again on current Chrome. Changes are listed in the releases.
Translations are done on Weblate.

Configuration
Besides the default list of links, users can add their own links!
Easy method to add new links
The easy way is to simply go to the desired website (example), and click on the OSM extension button. If the website's URL pattern is recognized, an option will appear to add the current page's link to the list.
However,
- It only works for maps (i.e. with latitude, longitude and zoom parameters);
- It only works for a few known URL patterns.
Advanced method to add new links
In the configuration page, new links can be added with an URL Template. See some examples below:
- JOSM is now in the default list (it uses JOSM's remote control directly). For Merkaartor or other editors configured in your openstreetmap.org preferences:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=remote#map={zoom}/{latitude}/{longitude} - Compilation of several map links:
https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?params={latitude}_N_{longitude}_E - Query OSM Elements:
http://www.overpass-turbo.eu/?C={latitude};{longitude};{zoom}
At least one bracket parameter must be inside the URL Template. The URL Template supports the following parameters:
- {zoom}
- {latitude}
- {longitude}
- {osm_changeset_id}
- {osm_user_name}
- {osm_node_id}
- {osm_way_id}
- {osm_relation_id}
- {osm_tag_key} and {osm_tag_value}
This is still an experimental feature.
