</div>I am using Adblock Plus in Firefox but I do not have the same<br>
problem. Perhaps you have a particular rule in your list that is<br>
too broad? If you open "Tools/Adblock Plus Preferences" you will see<br>
a list of all the blocking rules. My custom rules I have added are<br>
in the top list.<br>

</div>Yes, I see that too. I have not tried putting a marker on the<br>
Yahoo map yet, and I haven't figured out how to get the one on<br>
OpenLayers to always show up.<br>

</div>I can see now that navigating to the same spot on the Y! web page<br>
I get another step closer. I don't see how to do that on my page<br>
yet, but I will certainly look into it. I also do not see how to<br>
"overzoom" yet, but maybe I won't want to after I zoom in one step<br>
more.<br>

</div>The first location is hard-coded in the page at the moment.<br>
It will not be in the future.<br>

<br>
</div>As you start to do that, you probably also want the two maps<br>
synchronized so when the user navigates in one the other follows.<br>

I was just reading about JOSM remote control last night. I am<br>
hesitant to add this link to the view everyone sees because it<br>
will give newbies a broken link, but if I start generating the page<br>
from a CGI script and I add options like how big to make the maps,<br>
I will certainly add the option of a JOSM remote control link.<br>
One easy thing I should do first would be to name the OpenLayers<br>
control so a JOSM bookmarklet would work:<br>
