You may not realise it but Openstreetmap is 10 years old next weekend, and to
let all you "newbies" know what the map looked like when everything was still
new and fresh, they released a map to compare the situation in the end of
March 2007 with now, about a month after I got into the project myself.
Welcome to the days of editing in the Java applet, where one would have to
wait ages until something was rendered on the map and only some spare
satellite imagery available from Yahoo from Antwerp to Brussels and where
clouds would often ruin the party.
So for some nostalgia, head to:
