Uhm, and what is your suggestion? ;-)


First, the world in the download menu is usually not a good way to select
your area of interest (although possible), except if you want to download,
say... whole australia ;-). Note that currently the server will have a
hard time to deliver whole europe (australia is ok, only about 20 points
and some lines ;). But in future, this may be possible and you will get a
very low detailed map data only containing the biggest streets.
(The original idea of this little map is to give you a roughly feedback,
where your entered coordinates are.)

And second.. you DID know, that you can zoom the world map with mouse
scroll wheel and move it using right mouse button like the standard map?
;-)


Ciao, Imi.
