colin.green14 Posted 26 June , 2017 Share Posted 26 June , 2017 Hi Are there any other sources for on-line zoomable trench maps other than NLS, British Library and McMasters. Regards Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 26 June , 2017 Share Posted 26 June , 2017 Not that I know of, Colin. But why do you need other than NLS and McMaster? I particularly like the scrolling on the NLS site between trench and modern map. Really helped me sort out camera angles on the last trip to Belgium.

WhiteStarLine Posted 27 June , 2017 Share Posted 27 June , 2017 Hi Colin, Perhaps something to consider is overlaying your trench map in Google Earth. This has a number of advantages: It is field portable. With a tablet and GPS, you can navigate to where you want to go and reduce the opacity of the overlay with the slider to find exactly where they were 100 years ago. Google Earth supports a sophisticated technique called rubber-banding. This allows you to align a specific point or region of the map. We used this in 2012 to great effect. Search for posts by forum pal Howard. He is a master at it and occasionally offers ones he has done as KMZ downloads. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin.green14 Posted 27 June , 2017 Author Share Posted 27 June , 2017 (edited) Hi Thanks for the replies. I was interested in other site to add to a database that I have been compiling, originally for my own use. Please see here:- http://www.oxfordandbucks.co.uk/trench-map.html Saw the tmapper site this am, makes my attempt look feeble!!!

Them Froggies and Belgies were just hangers-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
