#5018: what are the coordinates of a generated .PNG map

Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: website | Version:
Keywords: static map image coordinates |
------------------------------------------+-------------------------
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]]
