Using GPS in the year 1565 There’s a wonderful web app (“Allmaps Here”) that shows your GPS location on old maps. I love it. www.verbeeld.be/2024/11/17/u... #maps #allmapshere #cartography #georeferencing

There used to be a canal where this big white office building is now. I’ve taken this photo from the location of the pink dot on the map.
