This Monday, let's take another look at part of SABRE Maps. Today is one of our favourites - Map Fader. Pick the layer that you want to look at, click the "Map Fader" button, and pick the second layer, and compare the two! It works with any map layers we have, so you can easily see any changes!

Another part of SABRE Maps that you might not have used or forgotten about is our Sheetfinder - pick your scale, click on the location and the maps covering that location and that scale appear in the right hand window. Click on the thumbnail, and it takes you to the map. Easy!

This week we'll leave a reminder of one of the other applications in the SABRE Maps family - the Co-ordinate Finder. Mouse over the map of GB or IRL, and get the location of that point in lots of modern and archaic co-ordinate formats. Perfect for map nerds like us! https://buff.ly/JraIUl8

This Monday sees a few more Ordnance Survey Ireland Half Inch maps from 1971 added to SABRE Maps, with one of my favourite physical sheets. Yes, the physical map really does look like that, with the red printing layer completely misaligned to the rest of the map. It's very rare that such errors creep out into the world, but this is one example of how awful it can look when it does happen. https://buff.ly/Vx7jBc7

Another Monday means more maps on SABRE Maps! This week we bring 8 Half Inch maps from 1970-72, with a second batch to come later. Our favourite in this batch are the western half of the OSNI Half Inch Second Series from 1970, which includes all of County Donegal as well as the western half of NI. And then to compliment it, there's also a 1971 OSI map sheet that mostly covers NI! Would you have spotted the tiny bit of the M12 motorway without up pointing it out?https://buff.ly/dH5pPda

This week sees more maps added to SABRE Maps, with three more Half Inch sheets added to our 1968 layer.

A few weeks ago we complained about the 1961 Snowdon sheet not being ready for Number Six, well, he was there in 1968, and so is The Village! https://buff.ly/1rC4ClC

Another week, another set of maps added to SABRE Maps. This week's additions are 10 Half Inch maps from 1966 and 1967, mostly covering Ireland, but there's one Welsh sheet in the batch as well for you all to enjoy, completely freely. https://buff.ly/Wl7J8b5

It's been a really busy week for us this week, so there's just a single layer been added to SABRE Maps this week - half a dozen Half Inch maps from 1965 covering quite a large part of Ireland. We hope you're enjoying them!

More OS, OSI and OSNI maps at the Half Inch scale this week have been added to SABRE Maps, with 15 maps for you to enjoy. Slightly disappointingly, the 1961 map of Snowdonia doesn't appear to consider The Village at Portmerion, soon to welcome Number Six, to be important enough to show.

Monday rolls around again, and it's going to be a hot one! So, let's give you some more Ordnance Survey Half Inch sheets from 1958-60, with a set containing both GB and IRL maps. There's two editions of the Birmingham Half Inch sheet, so what differences can you find? https://buff.ly/70vRsYG
