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

Zoom now works although I haven't changed the tag from Map.Location.Zoom to Map,Zoom as in your instructions. Also the last sentence in your tool tip is not complete ("You can")? There is some instability where the map icon is missing when you select a overview map first then go to the Place menu and select one. After selecting a place from an individual report the icons come back and work perfectly until the browser is closed. This is hard to reproduce so I can call it a feature! My next task is fixing my coordinates as Newfoundland in no in the middle of Russia!
