You're being totally bonkers. I've said I agree that it could be a  
user option but you're suggesting that we should do what no mainstream  
mapping site has ever done - by default have lat/lng shown as changing  
figures on the map. All because you think it would be nice.

Please try harder. We have 1.2 billion things to improve on, and this  
is really not high up on that list.
