Yes I know there are those 4 in one, 8 in one comparison sites, but assume I am already browsing osm.org and want to jump direct. Yes I know I should forget about asking OSM to add links to 'competing' services. |

the easiest way would be to use a bookmarklet (invoked by a toolbar click or keyword entry) which could easily extract the coordinates from the OSM URL and insert them into a google maps URL. If google wasn't the target, I would build one for you. ;-) Oh, wait, here is already what you are looking for: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Bookmarklet_osm-google_maps (from osm to google and vice versa). Thank you but all that is quite erie. Ah! All I want to do is like it says on http://geouri.org/ "Midori web browser supports “geo:” URIs", except the browser is Chromium (on Debian) and the site I wish them to be opened on is maps.google.com. I have no problem writing Bash shell scripts etc. Somehow I need to connect xgd-open...

@jidanni: sorry, what is "erie"? By the way: If you want to have your browser support the geo URI link scheme you may want to look for a browser extension, but that was not really your question here.

The bookmarklet trick is awesome aseerel4c26 ! Now, if it were possible to do the same from within JOSM, that would be really cool. (Sorry. Did not mean to hijack your thread jidanni)

Hijack... be my guest. Erie: ugly looking. Anyway all this works fine on Android, where geo: Intents get treated properly...

@Vincent de Phily: there are, but mapjumper needs more clicks to use and to setup and osmify replaces embedded google maps, if I understand correctly. Yes, both are related.

The mapJumper builder website is offline/removed since several weeks or months now, so currently it is of no use.

There is a Google Chrome extension "Mapjumper" for this: http://dudarev.github.io/mapjumper/ I am currently near at finishing a first version of an equivalent for Firefox. It might take some weeks due to lack of time, though. 1
this is not related to the MapJumper which was mentioned above, right?

Yes, it is unrelated. Same purpose, but different user interface. Merely the name is equal.

Although you already answered your question yourself ;) there are various map compare services listed in the OSM wiki. The easiest seems to be the one provided by Geofabrik. Open http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/ and append the 18/54.36341/22.79176 at the end of the URL, e.g. http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/#18/54.36341/22.79176. |

OK I solved it with this one-liner I put in $HOME/bin/xdg-open . could you please describe what it does? It seems to do something with geo: URIs, right? Update: thank you!
