Show a label on the pin

[GHolk]

Another idea I want to do is to transfer the name of the place embedded in url to another url, though I have not explore which web maps can show the name embedded in the url.

Ideally, we will be able to share url like this:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=25.0482&mlon=121.5164#map=14/25.0482/121.5164/Taipei_Railway_Station

Then, the OpenStreetMap.org will show not only the pin but also a label: Taipei Railway Station on the pin.

However, show label from user may cause some security issue. Frauds can construct a url which shows a misleading name, so I'm wondering does any web map support this feature.

I don't know which map service support a pin with name.

It seem that geo-uri supports a q= in querystring to search near the given position as a extension,
but we need one more implementation to make this feature meaningful.

Just found out that Android does support the Geo URI with label:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_URI_scheme#Unofficial_extensions

(Disclaimer, I just add some example to this wikipedia page.)

For google maps, this should work:
geo:25.040050,121.512069?q=25.040050,121.512069(office+of+taiwan+president)

For OSMAnd, the google map style uri above and the following uri should work:
geo:25.040050,121.512069(office+of+taiwan+president)

It will be a lot of work if we want to support label in OpenSwitchMapsWeb 🤔 🤔 🤔

By the way, Github does not render the geo uri.
If you want to try this, you can open the following url with the device that support geo uri:
