This map took me much longer than I care to admit. I think that the OldMaps interface is the complete opposite of user-friendly. None of the tools for correctly overlaying the two maps seems to work all that well. I think that it is nice that you can really just use your best judgment on where certain points are instead of fighting the program. I toiled over the clipping for 30 minutes, trying to make sure that my map wouldn’t scrunch up or become warped when I overlaid it. I could never quite get it to where I wanted it. Then, after I already lost hope that I correctly created the new map, I could not get anything to export correctly. To add insult to injury, every time I wanted to export, I was berated by ads about upgrading my membership to pro so that I could download a jpeg of my map. This was easily the most frustrating assignment I’ve done, and it wasn’t even the finding of a map and plotting it so I can overlay it. The charting website, in my opinion, is just so poorly optimized and doesn’t help people who just want to make basic maps. Actually creating these maps is very interesting and good for applying history, statistics, and geology all onto a very appealing visual. I liked going through the randomly generated maps and trying to correctly use the geoguesser to clash historical documents and satellite images. It just sucks that an overly monetized and frustrating system makes it hard for the general public to dip their toes into it. If I had to do it again, I would make sure that the map I was using has some landmarks that are easily identifiable and that the map itself has a somewhat realistic scale.
