Actually the maps that shows you exactly where you are are on your phone. Zoom in for a reasonably current view of your surroundings on Apple Maps or Google Maps In satellite view.
Retired history teacher here. Love maps, geography explains so much. Always disappointed when there’s a news story about a specific location with no map. Thanks for this.
Seth, I am always fascinated by ancient maps, particularly those of where we live, but also far away places. As well, I miss the time that I had a road atlas in my car so that I could get an overview of a route or an area. Certainly GPS makes it more efficient to move from place to place, but it lacks that element of deeper knowledge about where you are going and the areas through which you might pass. Your story about Laor and your father deserves its own (or several) articles or even a book.

EXCELLENT! Would like to hear more about your Dad.
LOVED “ inaccurate anachronism!” Say that 5 times fast.
