From an OpenStreetMap site I can extract an URL which has for example this form:
I can also rightcklick on the map an then "show address", it shows the coordinates with an separating comma: But this all is not the syntax to type in in the search field, which should be (as far as I know) of the form: 50°8'7"N,7°8'7"E or 48.641956, 9.474610 . How can I extract from a given site the coordinates which I or another person can directly type into the search field, i.e. the pure coordinates (without "www.openstreet..." and so) ? asked 24 May '20, 18:48 Archiver |
Solved: Right click the position > show address > coordinates will be prefilled in search field > copy from seach field. So easy ... answered 26 May '20, 15:32 Archiver |
When I do the rightclick/show addresses you suggest I can select and copy that coordinates pair as you have done: 8.78642, 9.05533. If I enter that into the search bar it will show me that location. Actually, doing the rightclick/show addresses already prefills the search with this coordinate pair in my case.
What is it what is not working for you?
I must admit that I only saw the coordinates below the Title "Suchergebnisse von Internal" (engl.: search results): blue, a link. But you are right: The search field is also prefilled with those coordinates (black, plain text).
These are the "pure coordinates" I searched for, but I didn't search in the search field. Funny.
Thank you for your hint.
