[Talk-us] Fictional / Old locations (was: User HomocideBaltimore)

[Ray Kiddy]

Good to know about the opengeofiction site. I have wondered what to do,
for example, with a school in Sunnyvale CA that closed 20+ years ago. I
think it is still on the OSM map.

It seems there could be a way to mark a location with "x was here" but
that could become a huge mess....

Have others had ideas, not on fictional sites, but on actual sites that
existed in the past? I know there are "historically re-created maps". I
seem to recall a map of ancient Rome as it was then. But anything with
OSM data?

cheers - ray
