For those more interested in the map, I found the source here: http://www.wellingtonstravel.com/index.html#wall-map-london There is no web version that I see, but you can hang it on your wall

Do you have a good idea on how to make it for the web? I couldn't find a good solution to showcase it with good zoom capability, so I opted for an app.

Wow I didn't realise I received so many upvotes (and it's of interest to people) until I checked HN today! Thank you everyone :) I really appreciate it. It's a pretty simple app, so I didn't think people would be so impressed, but I'm glad :)

Thanks!

I could if I owned an iOS device. Nifty idea, but not sure why this is a native app.

How would you have implemented it?

Is there a web version?
Re:Show HN: A vintage London map app that you can annotate a... by taigeair on Friday July 24, 2015 @09:51AM (#9941958)
No, I'm not sure what's the best implementation for a web version. Any ideas?

This link is a good jumping off point though (see blog post linked in answer)

I love your maps! For a web version, I would recommend Mapbox - I was able to get custom maps up and running in no time. CartoDB is another good option. Ping me if you need any help. Cheers
