Using GPS on old city maps 🗺️ There used to be a canal where this big white office building is now. I’ve taken this photo from the location of the pink dot on the map. How to place your GPS location on an old map near you: https://www.verbeeld.be/2024/11/17/using-gps-in-the-year-1565/ This specific map of Antwerp can be found here: https://here.allmaps.org/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fannotations.allmaps.org%2Fmaps%2Fc3cc246df5ba4455 #maps #allmapshere #cartography #georeferencing

@verbeeld Let me tell you, it's some serious work rectifying those old maps to modern real-world coordinates. A colleague and I have a paper coming up about the oldest known street network of Stockholm's suburbs.

@verbeeld here's my location. The authors of the map didn't specify a publication date but it's ok because it's "correct". https://here.allmaps.org/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fannotations.allmaps.org%2Fmaps%2F6fe39b2f7d71ae12

@verbeeld this is UK only but quite fun too. Best on a big screen rather than a phone. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=12.5&lat=56.39085&lon=-3.43645&layers=ESRIWorld&right=191

@verbeeld hi, very cool! Wanted to share I've been doing something very similar since the start of last year. I started doing this reverse geo referencing for hand-drawn tourist maps of towns, but also found it worked well for historical maps. If anyone is in the UK, I've set up maps for London in 1561, Cambridge in 1575, and Oxford in 1605: https://onamap.me/maps/London1561/ https://onamap.me/maps/Cambridge1575/ https://onamap.me/maps/Oxford1605/ I've been posting project updates on a facbook page: https://www.facebook.com/me.onamap
