What is it?

OnAMap.me uses your device location to show your location on a given map (see available maps above).

This was created to avoid the hassle of switching between looking at tourist maps (to see what's interesting) and Google maps (to see where I am) when visiting a new town. Now you can see your location on the tourist map directly!

The approach works equally well to show user location on top of historical maps (e.g. medieval maps), as well as event maps (air shows, festivals) and nature trains (including mountain bike trails).

I've been working on this non-commercially as a side project, to see if I could make it work, and to learn a little web development. Going forward I'd like to setup more maps where this approach may be useful, and explore new applications. Please reach out if you have suggestions!
