Hello,
I’m looking for a search plug-in (for firefox) /site on which:
-
the result is shown with a marker
-
I can set my own marker and a link to it
-
I can change the layer (and link to it)
So far I have used http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/, but its not possible to change the layer there and it has also no own marker or “send link” functionality. On m.osmtools.de you have the marker and the shortlink service, but no search and layer change options.
This is very unsatisfying!
The search from the main site http://www.openstreetmap.org/, would be a compromise but I don’t know how to add it to my plugins, this how it currently looks (from mycroft):

Any help / other sides are appreciated. Thanks
(PS: the firefox add-on is no solution.)
