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...
 8-).
