There’s a wonderful web app (“Allmaps Here”) that shows your GPS location on old maps. I love it.

@verbeeld Let me tell you, it's some serious work rectifying those old maps to modern real-world coordinates. A colleague and I have a paper coming up about the oldest known street network of Stockholm's suburbs.

@mrundkvist But so much fun too! I've learned so much about my own city by georeferencing these old maps I found online…
