A few comments: when downloading town plans sourced from digital
libraries it
is not recommend
to rely on resolution information presented in file metadata. Usual,
the actual resolution is much higher than declared. Moreover (this
applies particularly to digital libraries in Poland), high compression
rate used by those libraries means that even high-resolution files can
be very poor quality images. Unfortunately, there's no rhyme or reason,
i.e. some files from one library can be excellent, while others - from
the very same library - are very poor.
And for those disappointed with lack of new (historical) maps... well,
take a look at links below: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
The files in the links above can be downloaded, but not from the actual
zoomable window but from the file list at the bottom of those pages.
Scans are only 300 dpi, but very well scanned.
Other German maps scanned and recently made available by the Berkeley
Library (University of California) can be found here. The
Library will scan and add new files, but specific dates are unknown, in
one word - covid.
