    6 The dialog checks the content of the clipboard on opening.
     6This dialog allows to change the [wikitr:/Help/MapView MapView] extent by specifying coordinates.
    77
    8 * If a valid Openstreetmap URL is found, then it is used to fill the fields.
    9  An OK will move the Mapview to that position. \\
    10  \\
    11 * If the clipboard could not be interpreted, then the fields get the coordinate in the middle of the [wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview] and the zoom level.
     8The dialog is reached via the [StatusBar status bar] by mouse click in the latitude or longitude fields.
     9Additionally via the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/View View menu] in [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert access mode].

    13 The action is to read the current values and move the Mapview to that position.
     11If an OpenStreetmap.org URL is present in the system clipboard, the coordinates are parsed. Otherwise, the center coordinates and the zoom level of the current MapView are pre-filled.

     15Changes to the latitude/longitude/zoom fields update the displayed OpenStreetmap.org URL and vice versa. For example, you can copy the URL to open that view in your web browser or vice versa copy the URL from your web browser to jump to that position in JOSM.

     17== Jump to Place Name ==
     18As an alternative to specifying coordinates (since r16402), a pace name may be entered. OpenStreetMap's name finder Nominatim is queried and the MapView is changed to the first result. For ambiguous queries, make the query more specific, such as `Neustadt, Hesse` or `Neustadt, Kronstadt`.

     22== Rounding of Coordinates ==
    1523The coordinate is always shown with eight decimal places.
    1624This equals to millimeter precision on the ground.
     
    2028The coordinate formats Degree and Nautical are supported as well (since r8670).

    22 Currently this action takes the data in the zoom field as value in meters.
    23 Which is not perfectly consistent.
    24 So to achieve an [osmwiki:Zoom_levels OSM zoom level] of 13 (e.g. for a village) in the zoom field a number of ~1300 is needed.
    25 
    26 For example you can copy the URL to open that view in your web browser or vice versa copy the URL from your web browser to jump to that position in JOSM.
