Our friends from the
site Archiwum Map Zachodniej Polski
have created a place-name
search tool based on a US database,
cross-referenced
with maps available through all three partner sites, i.e.
mapy.eksploracja.pl, mapy.amzp.pl, mapywig.org. and with a link to the
current situation as displayed by googlemaps.
Database active at
the moment includes place-names found within the current
borders of Poland, Lithuania, Belaurs and Ukraine (other countries
covered by the maps on our sites will follow). The database will be
developed and new elements
added (English interface, map calibration files, location of smaller
villages, alternative place-names and other maps). The files
are LARGE - when a map is selected, the left click on the icon is to
crash your browser (most likely outcome), the right click saves the
file to a destination of your choosing on your computer.
In the process of preparing the project, our friends also created an index of
WIG maps in 1:100 000 scale
(these are the maps listed in the Maps 1:100 000 folder on our site in
600 dpi resolution).
The index can be slightly out of date at times due to a lag between us
adding new files and our friends updating the index. If any files
don't load, please come back to our site for the latest links.
The
project includes other multisheet maps of Central and Eastern Europe in
various scales, to reload
them please enable java and press F5 if the site appears not to respond.
