Zoom to Real Point

[Eric Katherman]

Yea that is sort of what I am doing now... I have it so that the point is
zoomed to but I don't have it centered quite yet...

I am using PHP to generate the maps.

Here is a part of what I am using: (It makes no sense to my not so math
friendly brain what this is doing)

$right_brdr = ($link[0] + ($_COOKIE["CONF-HEIGHT"] *2));
$left_brdr = ($link[0] - ($_COOKIE["GIS_CONF-HEIGHT"] ));
$top_brdr = ($link[1] + ($_COOKIE["GIS_CONF-WIDTH"] /2));
$bottom_brdr = ($link[1] - ($_COOKIE["GIS_CONF-HEIGHT"] *2));

The cookie values are set currently at 800x600.

I then just either take the user to the map or present them with links if
several answers to the query are available (e.g. Central & 7th Ave or 7th St)
