I needed to gather some locations information and instructed people to find Geo URI through the Now I try to work with that information as GeoURI, but turns out there are no question marks in RFC 5870. Is OSM intentionally does it? Is it some other derived scheme? This question mark (instead of |

Yes, the Geo URIs produced by the "Share" feature do not comply with RFC 5870.

In other worlds, welcome to the world of standards!

Perfect, thanks. I ended up writing this:

Which OSM Geo URI are you talking about exactly?

?z=("zoom"?) HTTP-like parameter, which is not defined in the RFC.Thanks, I already spotted it after int_ua's explanation :)
