It'd be nice to see this overlaid on the area it represents because I can't make heads or tails of what I'm looking at.

- garmaine 6y agoOverlaying probably wouldn’t help. These maps are not scaled. They represent landmarks, so it’s more a waypoint navigation list than what we think of as a geographic map.
- SamBam 6y agoIt would have still been nice to have some kind of visual representation. There must be a visual way to link the map to reality -- the map is a visual device, after all. They even have this line: > Geo-location revealed the territory represented on the slab bears an 80% accuracy to an area around a 18 mile-long stretch of the river. Which 18 mile-long section? That alone could have been provided.
- tomcooks 6y agoObviously you overlay points, and not the whole map. This way you can see how the slab references real life points, which you can show on a correctly scaled map.
- ggm 6y agoMaybe two maps side by side, relating waypoints to actual points?
- Karto 6y agoNot an overlay, but side by side views are shown, when scrolling down enough, in the French article linked by @thinkingremote : https://www.inrap.fr/la-plus-ancienne-carte-d-europe-15574# https://www.inrap.fr/la-plus-ancienne-carte-d-europe-15574#
