[Talk-us] Viewing Zoom Levels

[Blake Girardot]

Hi Alan,

In addition to how Clifford explains below, you can also double click on 
the coordinates in the lower left of the JOSM screen. The resulting 
dialog will have the same type of url with the zoom level in it in the 
bottom field.

You can also edit that url to change the zoom level and then click "Jump 
there" and you will zoom to that zoom level.

But wait there is more :)

You can copy/paste the standard OSM urls from and into that url field in 
JOSM to share and trade locations with others.

Cheers,
Blake
