It is possible to add parameters into your URLs that represent information from the Mobile app, for example, a user’s location, the location of a feature, the visible map area and others. These parameters are exposed through simple location tokens. Usually, Location tokens are used in pairs to provide both latitude and longitude.

URL Examples Using Location Tokens
The following are examples of location tokens you can add to an Open URL:
For the I Want To menu:
Opens the current map view in Open Maps:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=10/{Location.Map.Center.Latitude}/{Location.Map.Center.Longitude}
Shows the current location of the device in Open Maps:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=10/{Location.Geolocation.Latitude}/{Location.Geolocation.Longitude}
For a Result Action:
Added to Result Details, adds a Result Action button to the feature Details panel. When you click a feature on the map and the panel appears, you can click the button to show directions from your current position to the feature in Open Maps.
Added to a specific layer under Maps, adds a button to the features of that layer. When you click a feature from the layer, the Details panel appears and you can click the button to show directions from your current position to the feature in Open Maps.
