Adds a button in Google maps which opens the same map in OpenStreetMaps
This userscript adds button on the bottom of the Google Maps map view, which takes you to OSM with virtually the same view - same coordinates and virtually the same zoom. As Google Maps URL is dynamic, this script, of course, takes current URL, not initial one
I often use maps to identyfy places. Google Maps for: 1) satellite 2) StreetView 3) [rarely, but] some objects are more visible than on OSM 4) to quickly copy coordinates to clipboard - for me it's essential and GMaps is just rclick->clickon the first position in menu 5) good search function, OSM is awful when it comes to that.
But OSM has own good points, like: 1) it's more up-to-date 2) ideological - FLOSS, community driven, virtually no spting 3) as with 3 from GMamps - some objects are present, when GMaps misses it 4) buildings numbers - again essential for me 5) programmable via Leaflet (map tiles) and Nominatim (API for geocoding)
So, as you see I'm not interested in "redirect GM to OSM". I want a way to go from GM to OSM.
newTab abd addPin - you can safely customize it to your likingsbtn.textContent = ... to customize button labelObject.assign(btn.style, { - it's a button style in CSS (formatted as property: "value", - if you know css basics, you can customize it right there.
