Just lovely. And so much quicker than Google Maps too! stewf:ckck: The National Library of Scotland combined maps of Great Britain from the early 1900s with Google Maps and the result is pretty awesome. This is fantastic. I’ve been wanting someone to do this forever. If only maps these days were as pretty as they used to be. We would need to train a lot more people to use a pen. And be willing to pay for human labor over computer-generated type and images.
