searching by coordinates is a common use case. currently when hovering on a
link in the list of matches, it displays a temporary marker on the map.
additionally, clicking on a match causes the map to be centered at the marker
(panning without zooming).
however, the marker is removed as soon as the mouse cursor moves and link
hovering is off. unfortunately, this behaviour obfuscates zooming in on a
match, requiring the user to go back and forth the map and list of results,
hovering over the link to display the temporary marker again.
show a permanent marker when clicking on a result of searching by coordinates
would make zooming in more intuitive; it could be removed when search results
are closed. please note this feature request is _not_ about changing the zoom
level automatically.
here's a video demonstration:
and a screenshot:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=-29.7240675%2C-51.0282959#map=8/-29.726/-51.026
the current behavior confuses users, as indicated by numerous related reports:
* #5028
* #2798
* #3827
* #3980
* #4160
* #2366
* #2197
a workaround is to enter the coordinates in the URL, instead of the search
field:
