[OpenLayers-Users] What is a Pernalink?

[Erik Uzureau]

Hi Bill,

Permalink is a control that you can add to OpenLayers. Its appearance
is a standard HTML anchor <a> but what happens is that as you pan/zoom
the map (and hide/show layers as well, I believe), the href value in
the anchor is updated so that whenever you click it, it will point you
to that exact state of the map.

Essentially it allows uses to hit a bookmark for a specific state
(zoom,center,layers) for the map.
