Walking Through Time is a mobile phone application that overlays historical maps on Google Maps so that you can view your current location as it was in the past. The application allows users to follow historical maps and to tag and attach links to the map that offer historical and contextual information.
The application is a project by Edinburgh College of Art and Edinburgh University. So far they have developed a working prototype and have open sourced the code.
