The exploration of historical landscapes often presents challenges, particularly when attempting to reconcile old maps with contemporary geographic data. Changes in settlements, the emergence or disappearance of roads, and the overall evolution of the terrain can complicate the identification of specific locations, such as farms or significant buildings. Addressing these complexities, the Maps Explorer application has been developed to aid users in their navigational endeavors.

Maps Explorer enables users to overlay any historical map image onto a modern Google map. This innovative feature allows for the integration of multiple historical maps, effectively "stitching" together various fragments of geographic history. The application supports a diverse range of maps, including those from the Soviet era, German and Polish cartographies, as well as maps from notable figures such as Schubert and Mende. Once maps are aligned, users can adjust transparency and reposition fragments to enhance clarity. Additionally, the app facilitates quick transitions between different map fragments, enabling users to identify and analyze the changes across various historical periods.

The functionality extends beyond mere overlay; Maps Explorer includes a suite of tools designed for in-depth geographical analysis. Among these is a transverse profile feature that allows users to examine the topography along specified segments, facilitating comparisons of slopes and ravines. Such capabilities make the application invaluable for those seeking to explore and analyze geographical features and points of interest.

Main features include:

  • Overlaying historical maps onto modern landscapes
  • Uploading pre-linked online maps
  • Importing and exporting .sqlitedb files
  • Importing/exporting generated maps (.mef files)
  • Importing/exporting .kml and .wpt files
  • Recording GPS tracks
  • Measuring distance and area
  • Generating transverse relief profiles
  • Searching functionalities within the map
  • Selecting from various background map options

The application is equipped with a comprehensive "Help" section that provides instructions on its functionality, recommendations for effective map binding, as well as resources for locating suitable historical maps. Should users encounter any challenges, support services are readily available for assistance.
