[Talk-GB] OSM and William Booth's Poor Map

[Stuart Reynolds]

Those of you who have an interest in genealogy as well as in mapping may be interested to know that LSE has a mobile-friendly version of William Booth’s Poor Map of London. The “desktop” website has a poor interface with modern streets being linked to a Bartholomew map. The mobile site, though, defaults to using OSM as the background mapping layer, which sits behind the Booth Map. No idea where they are serving the tiles from, but it looks nice!

http://phone.booth.lse.ac.uk if you want to check it out.
