In the downloads of the previous issue of Computer Idee we told you how you can find old maps at the National Archives. Of course these are mainly maps of the Netherlands and you can’t easily orientate yourself with them on your current location as you can with a mobile app. Fortunately, such an app exists and he gets his map material from archives all over the world. The beauty is called Old Maps Online. When you start the app, you will see your location on a current map and a list of historical maps on the right. If you choose such a map, a rectangle on the modern map shows which area it concerns.
