Added complaint: before, I could zoom in, move the map, do whatever I 
wanted and then reload the screen and I got the initial view back. Now 
the map link changes when you zoom or move the map, making it difficult 
to get the initial view back. You have to remember to copy the link and 
than paste it back again otherwise you will never get the initial view.
Please get the old style link and working back. The fact that there is 
no direct visible link to the map is now the least of the problems.

Maarten
