This worked correctly. I could not find any details how to migrate to Open StreetMap. As I had used this mapping service on other sites I had developed and populated the Zoom function I new it worked correctly. I therefore changed the tag names to Mapping/_Mapping and Map.Location.Zoom/Width/Height/Type with the Tag Editor. Now only the maps use the coordinates for the centre and the default Zoom value. I notice that the correct Zoom value is being passed to the mapping software so what have i ddone wrong? The only instructions I found was the tool tips on the Location Maps page of the NarrativeReport Parameter Settings which was only visible for a very short length of time so i had to photograph it to read it. Also it mentioned to add 3 custom tags and them listed 4. There is no details on what Height and Width values are for, or what Type does in OpenStreetMap. I wish to get this working before I untertake to correct the location of all the maps on my family trees. I did notice that there is still under Properties -> Narrative report and lot of Google Maps tags. Are these necessary or am I the remove these? Ian
