Family search old maps England
« on: Sunday 20 July 25 16:33 BST (UK) »
Family search recently updated their old maps section.

I used to use this feature all the time. It was really good for seeing quickly which parishes are next to each other, and also for looking quickly at smaller places within parishes.

Family Search seem to have added a lot more information, but it now takes forever to load and is really slow responding if you move across the map. I will probably use it much less now because the whole experience is so painful.

I second your thoughts pandk2 and don't find the new version at all user-friendly.  It's also a pain that you have to login to use it. 

It's here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/mapp/ for anybody unfamiliar.

In the old days you could list adjacent parishes, or specify a radius in either miles or km and it would list nearby parishes.  You could order the list alphabetically or (for radius) by distance I think.  Where has this useful feature gone?
