Ogilby's plates are strip maps of segments of road. National grid
10Km squares have been used to divide up the plates, for the purposes
of comparison with other old maps of the county. The grid lines
have been positioned on the strips simply by comparing the plates
with modern maps. Do notice that grid lines do not run
horizontally across the plates; but the plates are then
divided horizontally where the grid line crosses the road and shown
on screen with an added overlap. Arrows at the ends of strips take you along the road. If there are two arrows, then the road divides. Arrows at the sides take you down other routes. A line at the side switches you from one strip map of a route to an alternative. BEWARE: the 'up' arrow to a next piece goes to the top of that piece, not quite where you'd expect. You may have to scroll down to the bottom to find the continutaion of your route. | |
