View Maps

To view the map file for a particular waymaker type in Google Maps, click on the underlined layer name in the following list. Note that Milestones are split into 9 English regions, Wales and Scotland because with some 12,000 milestones the complete map file is too large for Google Maps.

Only one layer / region map file can be displayed at a time and only basic Google Maps control and display facilities are available. 

You can view the map file in Google Maps with its full facilities, by clicking on the View Larger Map option that is given below the displayed map .

Different icons are used to display markers in each layer as indicated above. Icons labels showing the database national ID can be viewed in Google Maps by selecting the Earth map option . Clicking on an icon will produce a window with information about the marker and a photograph if available. Some photographs are stored in the Milestone Society’s own repository, some are on external sites such as Flickr, Images of England or GeoGraph.
