**1) Click add place
 
**2) JS finds coordinates and gives you an address for the place where cursor is
 
**3) Close adding place
 
**4) Click again add place
 
**5) Now it doesn't find

* When opening a place with lots of comments (eg. http://yoshi.mega2000.de/~simison/maps.hitchwiki.org/?place=3266 ), the page might be too high and scrolls down a bit. At least with opera mac.
