Abstract

This paper reports the development of the service named “Konjyaku map distributing and browsing service on old topographic map tile images”. This service consists of the following three services. Firstly, we develop a web service to distribute tiled map images of old topographic maps as TMS. Secondly, we develop a web site to browse these tiled map images on the PC web browser or smartphone using Google Maps API. Thirdly, we develop a software working on Windows PC to browse these tiled map images with rich functions. By providing these services integrally, it is possible to provide an opportunity to view old topographic maps in a wide range of users.
