22nd January 2022 - map update
1
We have added approx. 940 sheets
of the Soviet, post-WW2, 1:25,000 map from Lithuania
(600dpi). Because mapster index sheet for 1:25, 000 maps of this type
is, for rather obvious reasons, very extensive, it can take quite a long time to
open
- it appears that Opera and Edge take less time than Firefox. The maps
are also available via a less computer-intensive list and
they will show up on a map list in mapster search. Where possible, we
tried to provide alternative (Polish, German, Latvian and Lithuanian)
place-names, however errors
can occur, as there are several different place-names with
identical name in one language, but different variants in other
languages.
A little side note: to search historical maps in mapster by their
geographical coordinates (when no larger village is found nearby), you
can use a 'hack', i.e. an unofficial mapster search feature. First, you
need to find the coordinates of a place, eg. via google maps. When you
click anywhere on the map (left-click), a small window pops up at the
bottom of the screen. When you click on that windo, the coordinates
show up on the left hand side, usually under a photo of the location,
if one is available. You should copy the coordinates (CTRL
+ C) which are presented in UTM format, and they look like the example
below:
53.951819, 23.519671
Copy 1st part above, before
the comma, i.e. 53.951819, using (CTRL + C) and then paste
it (CTRL + V) into the link below:
http://igrek.amzp.pl/result.php?cmd=pt&lat=XXX&lon=YYY&hideempty=on
- you should replace only
XXX (be careful not to copy or delete any characters before or after
XXX).
Copy 2nd part above, after
the comma, i.e. 23.519671, using (CTRL + C) and then paste (CTRL
A+ V) to the very same link, by replacing only YYY.
When the link is complete, mark it with a mouse cursor and copy the
whole link przygotowany (CTRL + C) and paste it (CTRL + V) into the
main search (web address) window of your web browser (firefod, edge,
chrome, opera, etc.) http://igrek.amzp.pl/result.php?cmd=pt&lat=53.951819&lon=23.519671&hideempty=on
- when you do that, don't forget the 'enter' command, which is the
'Return' key on the right side of the keyboard (the one with an
arrow pointing down and right).
