Our new (as of the beginning of 2015) implementation of the Agas Map is
based on the OpenLayers library. It presents the map as a zoomable,
rotatable tiled image with several hundred locations plotted on it.
In the default view, the locations are initially hidden; you can
show them by checking checkboxes in the
Apart from this, these are the main things you will want to do with the map:
This is best done by searching in the navigation panel. Click on the
You can also search for a MoEML
If this is a small category, such as Taverns, you can simply check the checkbox next to the category caption in the navigation panel and turn them all on. However, if it’s a large category (such as Streets), the result may be overwhelming.
This is best done by holding down the Control key on your keyboard and dragging a box around the area with your mouse; the map will zoom into that area, and all the locations in that area will be shown. If you’re only interested in a subset of the locations in that area, you can turn off the categories that don’t interest you in the navigation panel.
To see all the places mentioned in a specific text from the MoEML library, enter the URL http://mapoflondon.uvic.ca/agas.htm?docId=

Your browser will be forwarded to a new URL which encodes the instructions for showing these locations. You can bookmark that URL and return to it any time.

The map also provides an editing environment for our own project team to locate and outline locations. See Add MoEML Locations to the Agas Map for full documentation on these features.
