History Maps

Zeitag NYC is a simple, user-friendly app that has thousands of location-based, historical photos embedded in the default iPad map. Teaching about immigration or the history of New York City? Zeitag offers students the opportunity to view the city from a whole new (or old) perspective.  You may want to partner this app with Google Earth (select Panoramio Photos layer), have students choose a given area, and compare life today with life in the past. If you have iPads with 3G, enrich your field trips by using Zeitag to add a historical layer to any spot around the city!

For all you Canadians out there, check out Zeitag Toronto.

Please note: The apps below have a similar concept, but were designed for the iPhone.
