current web browser as outlined below. The Lizardtech Expressview Plug-in or
Photoshop plug-in is required to view direct links to historical maps. Set desktop color
settings to the highest possible for the clearest pictures.

Maplicity Version
The Maplicity map enables a user to overlay up to 4 historical maps of New Haven onto a modern-day map.

Microsoft's own Java. Microsoft's implementation of Java will not work with Maplicity.
