    2222    * To paste from [http://www.informationfreeway.org www.informationfreeway.org] zoom to the area you are interested in, and then copy the permalink location from the bottom right of screen, and paste as described above.

    24  * On the Places tab you can find the functionality of th former namefinder plugin. Here you can search for specific places, street names, etc, in the OSM database.

    2626 * A Tile Numbers tab where you can enter number of tiles and a zoom level to download data of those tiles. This might look a little akward especially when reading [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_map_tilenames how to compute the tile numbers]. But sometimes it comes in handy. Have a look at the [http://server.tah.openstreetmap.org/Browse/?layer=tile t@h browser] where you can quite easily determine the tile numbers in the image address when hovering the individual tiles with the mouse.

    28  * A world map where you can select an area for download using the mouse. The map is not detailed enough to actually select a very small area, but you can use it in conjunction with the other tabs—e.g. first select a bookmark, then zoom in on the world map and select an area slightly different from the bookmark area. The world map can be zoomed and panned just like the normal map display!

    3028When switching between tabs, the area shown in each tab will be the same. So if you select a bookmark for example and switch to the slippy map tab, the area of that bookmark is shown.
