Description (Last modified by jrf)

If a user is looking at an OL map, then jumps to another page and then clicks the "back button" in their browser, the OL map appears to loose state. It sounds like there are several ways to fix this, including a hidden iframe, editing the browser history with js, rewriting the URL, and possibly more. Let's evaluate and do one of these.
