MapBrowser Overview

To access our online maps collections and Mayo locations links please choose from the following MapBrowser versions. For an overview of the map collections click here.

		MapBrowser 2.0 Based on Flash Player and Google Maps. Introduced in 2012. Some maps still need to be migrated from the previous version. These, like all the others in MapBrowser 1.0, can be accessed most easily through links from MapBrowser 2.0: Find your townland etc. Click on the label or marker on the map. Make sure the Links tab is visible in the panel to the right. Then look for entries under Maps.
		MapBrowser 1.0 Based on Flash Player. Launched in 2009. This is being gradually phased out. We recommend using MapBrowser 2.0. If you decide to keep on working with MapBrowser 1.0 for the moment, please check out the links from 2.0 to 1.0 as described above.
