Overall: Looks good to me. Could stand to have some more images (perhaps a current satellite view, for which NASA's WorldWind is quite useful). jp×g 04:51, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Map size?

[edit]

@ thanks for the help with the map. I'm curious, though, why the map and the image are different sizes. I tried playing with the image_size parameter (or leaving it out completely), but that gave even stranger results. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:49, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was something weird with the URL. I changed it and now you can do any size just fine. ɱ (talk) 16:26, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again. All of this automatic pulling of data between enwiki, wikidata, and OSM is very cool, but there's so much magic involved, it's difficult to debug when things to wrong. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:43, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
