Hi all, I've set up a version of the Agas MoEML 1561 map of London, so you can see where you are on the map from your phone's GPS. When you use it you'll get a live "you are here" marker, showing where you are with reference to the 1561 map.
I'm thinking it can provide some historical context for people exploring the city.
The map is here:
https://onamap.me/maps/London1561/
To use it you'll need to be in the mapped area, and enable location permission. You should see a blue marker indicating your position.
Might be a bit inaccurate in some places; I haven't yet tested it myself but will next time I'm in London.
Feedback would be much appreciated! Please try it out!

Pretty cool, mine seems to work.
Anyone who liked that will also like this: [https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=11.1&lat=51.50648&lon=-0.10679&layers=188&right=osm](https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=11.1&lat=51.50648&lon=-0.10679&layers=188&right=osm)
They are side by side modern & historical maps of London/UK. Play around with the different map layers.
