"Crossing the equator is not supported"

[ncairns]

I am trying to Get Map in Map Tile Servers using both MS Bing and Open Street Map - when I zoom to an Australian location Get Map responds with this error: Crossing the equator is not supported."
What am I doing wrong?

Check the "Scale" and "Coordinate" groups on the right hand side in the Map Tile Servers window. The setting in the "zoom level" field there is the one that matters when acquiring the map, not the slider in the preview area. Same for the coordinates. To transfer the settings between left and right use the two buttons with the big grey arrows.
