22 April 2013 - general update
1
A lot of (relatively) smaller updates:
- a new
index sheet in Mapster, for German 1:25,000 maps of Central / East
Europe from the times of WW1. Currently comfortably occupied
by approximately 18 sheets. Great start, another 1000 - 2000 sheets,
and we should have a fairly decent coverage.
- Austro-Hungarian maps: we have added the missing sheets of the
1:115,000 maps of Galizien und Lodomerien from mid-19th century, and a
full set of (approx. 30 sheets) of an earlier (end of 18th / beginning
of 19th century), of a so-called "Map by Liesganik", scale 1:288,000.
We have also added several sheets of Austro-Hungarian 1:25,000 from the
area of "Lesser Poland" (Malopolska), west and east of Krakow (not the
city itself). All those maps available, for now, on the Austro-Hungarian
sub-page, while the Austro-Hungarian
1:300,000 sheets have been "outsourced" to Mapster. - Thanks to
the help we got from the friends in Prague, we received over 20
sheets of Grossblatt maps (German 1:100,000), mainly from
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Austria, as well as one, probably last
edition of Grossblatt
69a Leslau, dated January 1945, from Poland - A few
dozen of Bildplan and Bildskizze (German air-photo maps), scale
1:25,000 at 600 dpi have been added. Despite their fairly reasonable
file size (approx. 20 - 26 Mb), they're at 600 dpi resolution, so try
NOT to open them in the browser, download the scans to the computer
first. These maps have been divided in Mapster into three separate
index sheets to match their numbering: as
per Messtischblatt sheet lines as
per WIG 1:25,000 sheet lines as
per 1/4 of WIG 1:100,000 maps (This edition is probably dated
1939).
- We have received a German
index sheet of Polish 1:25,000 WIG "maps, suitable for directing
artillery fire". For the current day purposes... let's just
say they show "new editions" of WIG maps. - ... and it
was printed on the reverse of a WIG 1:25,000 sheet, Pas
45 Słup 42 E Deraźne, from 1938 (24 MB, 600 dpi) Several
Messtischblatt (Topographische Karte) sheets from Poland
(3176, 3183, 3193, 27107) and Czechoslovakia (6570, 6645, 6764, 6765,
6863, 6865, 6869, 6870, 6871, 6968, 6969, 6970)
- and last, but not least, a very unusual map, scale 1:25,000, courtesy
of Mr Alexandr Koroliov, Pas
37 Słup 40 D Różana (300 dpi, approx. 6.1 MB). A file
definitely worth seeing...
