<div dir="ltr">I tinkered with the "Kilimanjaro to Tsavo Stn. U.R.. WOOS-8-3-1" map a fair bit. Started by using recognisable locations (features on lakes, etc.) but eventually settled on tagging the grid lines and using online conversion tools to give me the WGS-84. The ones with hills in look great in Google Earth, e.g. <a href="http://warper.wmflabs.org/maps/629.kml">http://warper.wmflabs.org/maps/629.kml</a> Difficult to get the map spot on.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, 9 Feb 2016 at 16:28 Tim Waters <<a href="mailto:chippy2005@gmail.com">chippy2005@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
so after a fix was applied to the Wikimaps Warper the collection of<br>
581 maps from Wikimedia Commons was re-imported and added to a mosaic<br>
(layer)<br>
<br>
<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:War%20Office%20Archive%20%E2%80%93%20British%20East%20Africa" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:War%20Office%20Archive%20%E2%80%93%20British%20East%20Africa</a><br>
<br>
The mosaic:<br>
<a href="http://warper.wmflabs.org/layers/4" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://warper.wmflabs.org/layers/4</a><br>
<br>
The Tiles link is <a href="http://warper.wmflabs.org/layers/tile/4/%7Bz%7D/%7Bx%7D/%7By%7D.png" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://warper.wmflabs.org/layers/tile/4/{z}/{x}/{y}.png</a><br>
and the WMS details can be found at<br>
<a href="http://warper.wmflabs.org/layers/4#Export_tab" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://warper.wmflabs.org/layers/4#Export_tab</a><br>
<br>
and of course individual maps have their own WMS and Tiles endpoints too<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

<br>
p.s. Note that loading up a map for the first might take a once only<br>
period of a couple of minutes as the map gets requested from commons<br>
and is loaded up in the warper ... you should see a progress bar in<br>
that case!<br>
<br>
p.p.s. There's an issue with the warper not getting the correct<br>
thumbnail for some of the maps, but it shouldn't affect how it works<br>
in the warper.<br>
