[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] "show address" is misleading, because the link calls "where am I" (Issue #3448)

[Sarah Hoffmann]

More background to this rather too short issue description: the 'where am I' function adds the zoom parameter with the current map zoom to the reverse geocoding call to Nominatim. The result is that you get a less detailed response the lower the zoom level. That's intentional: it would be rather confusing to get an address down to housenumber-level when looking at the whole of France.

'show address' has the same behaviour. That may be a bit confusing, when the user expects really to be shown an address.

The solution to this is to either rename 'show address' or always use zoom=18 with the reverse call for 'show address'.
