Directions and coordinates: how the links work
Listings with a position offer a directions link. Here is what it does, where the target point comes from and what its limits are.
Where the coordinates come from
The point shown is the position declared for the facility in Data ES, copied as is, without rounding. The coordinates are displayed on the listing so that you can compare them with what your own app shows.
What the directions link does
The link opens an external mapping service with this point as the destination. It is a plain link: nothing is requested from that service until you click, and no map, tile or mapping script is loaded with the page. Once on the external service, its own terms apply.
The limits
- The position is that of the facility, not necessarily that of the entrance or a car park.
- A position can be approximate or wrong in the source: if in doubt, compare it with the address on the listing.
- If the source gives no valid position, the listing says so and offers no map link: OsmoRamp does not invent one.
