In our Cívis GIStory project, we have developed a selection of map data from a century and a half and linking them together to create a platform that enables to reconstruct and present, in a staircase of selected timelines, the history of the city of Civis leading to the present evolutionary processes, its superimposed structures and iconic patterns, anchored in space.

In the Cívis GIStory tab, you can select one of three approaches from the Discover it! menu: Time trail, Thematic walks and Timeframes comparator. These open the system with different options. The OpenStreatMap map is displayed when the map system is started.

- By selecting the 'Timeframes comparator', you can select 1-1 map by clicking on the year in the layers and examine the overlapping maps using the slider.
- In the 'Thematic walks' menu, you can select each category or subcategory within a category by selecting a category or subcategory, the icons for the corresponding locations will enlarge and turn blue. When clearly a location, the map zooms in and a description of the location is displayed on the right.
