I get something similar, a strange blue blob at the top of this map:
http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~ojw/MapOf/?lat=51.463297&long=-0.072445&z=15&w=1280&h=1024&format=png

Great tool, though, very easy to use. Given how many people take screenshots 
of Google maps, Multimap etc. it would be fantastic to include something this 
simple as a tab on the web site, perhaps called "save", which takes you to a 
page with a thumbnail, download link and brief license explanation.

Kind regards,
Tom
