Comment (by james_7114737):
Greetings,
My app does not even support Internet communication (no sockets), so
unfortunately SW changes in my app are not a solution: it is not the point
of communication with openstreetmap, or any other mapping resource. People
would use static internet access and web browser of choice to download
whatever static map imagery is of interest to the user (street map data
from openstreetmap, bathymetry and satellite imagery from other websites,
etc.).
People in cities already have access to multiple GEO solutions through
their data plans; my app doesn't fit into that category. Agreed that this
request is not the largest user base.
One point I am confused about: the user is actively selecting an area of
interest in the website when ''exporting'' or when ''sharing''. The
coordinates are displayed/enterable when exporting, and are not displayed
when sharing. I even tried without success to draw the same selection
areas simultaneously to determine the coordinates of the shared area...
The other point to make: it was there before in the previous website...
