Well I never ... How long has that been there?
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ down at the moment? I'm only seeing short a 
GeoNames result. The comments on that link certainly points out the poor title. 
Even if I had noticed it, I doubt I would have twigged it was 'Where am I 
looking at?'

Curious ... I'm not getting anything at the moment. Just a blank 'tab'.
But this should work the same as the pop-ins on the other side? Moving the 
centre of the map is irritating :( Actually if the 'results' from that just 
appeared in the share pop-out?
