OpenHistoricalMap stellt Kartendaten für tausende von Webseiten, Apps und andere Geräte zur Verfügung

OpenStreetMap wird von einer Vielzahl von Mappern erstellt, die Daten zu Wegen, Gebäuden und allerlei Weiterem weltweit erfassen und pflegen.

Big and Small, Then and Now

Empires rise and fall. Glaciers disappear. Languages and religions spread from one region to another. Simple dirt paths become busy highways and railways. Modest buildings give way to soaring skyscrapers. And you remember what your neighborhood used to look like. All of it belongs on OpenHistoricalMap.
