saving selected cell state is hardly functional right now

because it currently will only work when opening the url with the exact same viewport dimensions

However, I liked it to be able to send a URL with one particular cell selected. This is quite useful to help others find the right place on a map.

temporarily disabled url encoding of selected cell. the attempted workaround was only working half of the time, which could lead to users falsely assuming the feature to work under all conditions.

for a proper fix it is probably necessary to make the grid alignment on the map independent from the map container size (which it currently isn't). it may be a good idea to investigate this in conjunction with more efficient grid generation approaches.
