Description
The geobrowser should respond to user inputs, preferably in the http-address itself.
Like this example:
http://www.example.com/?q=geobrowser&lat=47.454&long=10.45&zoom=5&nobrowser
The all-time important ones is the latitude & longitude itself. The other ones are just bonuses.
This way people may link directly to the map while also having the map auto-zoomed into their local area.

Indeed this is a great idea and has been boiling away in my head.. It's on my list!
#2
How about putting arguments into line 481-483 of browser.php?
var begin_lat = "<?php print $_GET[lat]; ?>";var begin_lon = "<?php print $_GET[lon]; ?>";
var begin_zoom = "<?php print $_GET[zoom]; ?>";
If there is a variable in $_GET then override the default setting..
Needs check_plain of course, and some way to decide if the coordinates are decent formatted.
The whole thing crashes if you feed it with something wrong (eg. inserting , instead of .)
