Stroly: A Historic and Illustrated Maps Platform

In our digital time, the perceived value of historic maps is fading away. Their non-linear and often distorted mapping condition, makes their use in combination with modern positioning technology a complicated matter. We believe however that historic and illustrated maps add a valuable, cultural context to the experience of people's surroundings. With Stroly, our historic and illustrated mapping platform, we're aiming to bring cultural and beautiful historic maps into the digital realm. We've created an online digital mapping platform, where familiar locations, on non-linear maps, can be mapped to their respective latitude and longitude locations. This allows end-users of our service to see an accurate estimation of their current location on historic and illustrated maps, using the GPS on their mobile devices. Enriched with important landmark information and highly advanced map comparison functionality, our service aims to provide a beautiful historic and cultural context to our everyday surroundings.
