I hadn't noticed that the placemark in GE was quite so messy when didnt have a query! So this new version will center on the current view (rather than the placemark) and have a reasonably lat/long labled placemark, however it does mean you will loose the actual address entered. So its still not perfect, wonder if can do an condictional, if there is an address query entered then use that (but will alway center on placemark even if map dragged) else use the ll to get the center of view. (ideally Google Maps would correct this and show the placemark propelly and use the ll value to do a Lookat!) Hi Frank,

Is this what you mean?

Now, if you could just re-parse the "link-to-this" for whatever the current lat/lon is it would be perfect. I simply change the current link-to-this into a query (by changing "&ll=" to "&q=" and erasing the "&spn" tag) and then your bookmark works perfect. Hey Barry, nice edition with your Update2!
