Discussion paper
Making Large Scale Historic Mapping Available on GPS Equipped Mobile Devices, Ray Wilson, May 2022 [Download]
This paper was produced in May 2022 and examines the available options at the time for the creation and display of historic mapping on mobile devices and it explains how the current approach was arrived at. It may be of interest to anyone looking to develop the techniques employed in this project. However it should be noted that many of recommendations have been superseded.
