 Greetings, [[BR]]

 I am writing a Android app which will use static map images, and was
 hoping to refer to http://OpenStreetMap.org as a source of maps. However
 for the maps to be of use in my app the map corner coordinates need to be
 known. [[BR]] [[BR]]
 '''Issue:''' [[BR]]
 The old openstreetmap.org website allowed for the generated of static map
 images (e.g. .png). The coordinates of the map image generated were
 obviously displayed on the website.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 The new openstreetmap.org website still allows for generation of static
 map images, but the coordinates of the map image are unknown.

 '''Steps:'''
 [[BR]]
 Go to: http://www.openstreetmap.org/ [[BR]]
 Zoom in on the map [[BR]]
 Click the Share button on the right. [[BR]]
 Check '''Set Custom Dimentions''' [[BR]]
 Drag box edges as desired. [[BR]]
 Adjust the scale as is desired. [[BR]]
 Click Download. [[BR]]
 A wonderful map has been generated, but I do not know what the coordinates
 are. Are they elsewhere on the web page and I am not seeing it, or
 embedded in the image or anything? [[BR]] [[BR]]

 CU,  [[BR]]
