You should have only one mlat and mlon in the url, otherwise there is
an undefined result. Removing the lat and lon from the url should fix
the problem.<br>
<br>
I usually find that removing the layers can help too, so this gives:<br>

exactly what you want, I'm not sure why it didn't. This one does:

I don't think there's a simple way to create those links other than just
recentering the map where you want the marker, clicking on permalink and
then putting "m" in front of the lat/lon parameters.

<pre wrap="">thanks for the help, tom and john. the link i sent was actually a guess,
didn't realise i'd hit on the right syntax
it didn't show, cos the marker was off the visible area
what i actually was driving towards, but explained badly, was a button
that anyone could click at the edge of the map, then anywhere on the map
to place the marker. i suggested this rather than adding numbers to the
url, as the latter is probably beyond the average users of the map - if
not in technical skills, then at least in patience
i'm sure there must be way to do this without mangling urls?

Go to the Export tab on <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org">www.openstreetmap.org</a>,
choose embeddable HTML
click add marker to map
copy the Iframe output and see the URL it contains
