Operator Plugin to lookup Geo encoded coordinated on Openstreetmaps
If you use the Operator
Extension for microformats and whenever you come
across a Geo(Microformat)
encoded URL and want to lookup that location on our beloved Open Street
maps , I have written an Operator plugin for doing
just that.
The plugin is available @ http://bhavesh.freeshell.org/downloads/osm.js .You can save the text file using your browser with the name as osm.js.
Once you download it you need to copy the osm.js file in your operator folder.It wiill be something like <Firefox Profile Folder>\profile\operator on Windows and <Firefox Profile Folder>\operator
Please note that you need to install the Operator Extension before you can copy the osm.js file.Once installed you will be able to see the file in the Preferences or Options of Operator like below

You will then need to restart firefox to have Operator load the new plugin.
If everything goes well you should see the following in the Menu of Operator inf Firefox.

If you run into any issues you can send me an email @
Please mention osm.js in subject line so I can distinguish
between spam and real emails.
