My OH is a mapaholic, so I'm never surprised when he turns up with another map. He'll choose a map as a holiday souvenir (quite a nifty idea, if you think about it!).
He recently got an iPhone, and has been acquiring new apps from time to time. The recently-found one is free, apparently. You use a modern map to locate an area, and then a slide-bar allows you to fade between the current map and a historical version. It's fascinating!
I think he said it was called Old Maps. If anyone is interested but can't locate it, let me know, and I'll ask him for more specific info.
I wouldn't have mentioned it , normally, but it does seem to be free, and could be really helpful for getting an impression of where your ancestors lived.
