Map search

Most of the maps are connected through administrative units with the approximate coordinates thanks to which it is possible to search for them also via the contemporary map.

Sorting search results

By default the results are sorted by reference codes but they can also be sorted by the content of each column if you click on a column’s header.

Only the basic data of the maps will be displayed in the table. You can see more information about a map by clicking on its reference code.

Multi-part maps

If a map has been digitised in several parts or as several files due to technical reasons, they will be displayed in separate tabs.

Opening a larger image

Although you can manipulate with a map already in the detailed view of a cartographic document, it is more convenient to do it after the map has been opened in larger size.

Opening a map in new window

You can open a map also in a separate window of the web browser. This option is useful if you want to seek out several maps in order to compare them later.
