This browser extension[1] is officially available for Mozilla Firefox (for Desktop[2].
It helps users to open links related to OpenStreetMap, based on parameters from the current page. Supported parameters include map parameters (zoom, latitude and longitude) and OpenStreetMap attributes (user name, node ID, changeset ID, etc). In a nutshell, this extension is a superior alternative to Bookmarklets.
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:
- Edit with JOSM or Merkaartor(should be configured in Openstreetmap.org My preferences and should be running. (see issue) :
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.
