Earlier quoted context omitted.
Could you give an example? Like a specific year when the map is not accurate?
Lots of things are missing. The kingdom of Frisia (6th to 8th century CE) is completely absent.

#62Cool, I wish the project all the best! Making an interactive historical atlas is a great idea but the path is not an easy one. We did a similar project and closed it about 5 years ago https://maps.chron.ist/ Had multiple iterations, and put a lot of effort into finding and drawing the maps. Later we found some support from the community and they promised to provide us with verifiable and trusted map sources... The so…
Wow, this is awesome!

#63Looks great, but this bug keeps from enjoying it: On firefox/macos/desktop, clicking on a POI on the map opens the sidebar but then redirects the whole page to the wikipedia entry.
Re: Timemap.org – Interactive Map of History
#64Excellent UI and very fun to explore, although North America is conspicuously blank before 1607. Hopefully more sources can be added to this to fill that out.
Thanks. Great to hear that you like the user interface...
It is indeed super hard to collect or create better data. We were considering cooperation with indigenous lands non-profit https://native-land.ca/ that would be amazing! Do you know of a better source?
If you have tips for how to improve or data - please - post it via "Feebdack" button on the edge of the website for area and selected time...
To make this project well is super hard.

#65Hi HN! I’m Klokan, one of the creators of TimeMap. It’s exciting to see this project here — thank you for the interest and support! We just launched TimeMap on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/timemap If you find what we’re building valuable, an UPVOTE there would mean a lot. Stanford University recently hosted an event to introduce TimeMap to the world, which you can check out here: * Recording on You…
Hi! It's done beautifully but there are some... inconsistencies.
Is there a process to provide feedback and correct errors on the map?

Yes! Please just use the "Feedback" button on the side of the interface - after you zoom the map and select time - then you can annotate, and it gives us most relevant context to your feedback

Cool!
If I look up the "Grand Duchy of Lithuania" on wikipedia, the years for the state do not match the data on the map. Is it because the data is disputed, or Wikipedia is wrong or there is a bug on the Timemap?

#68Going back in time to the Americas doesn't allow you to see much detail. If you're curious to find out, you can visit this website, which gives a detailed account of native lands: https://native-land.ca/

Urartu is missing as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urartu
Re: Timemap.org – Interactive Map of History
#70Honestly there is so much more to North America than just Maya for decennia's. You can review the indigenous people territories back centuries ago. There are some really good organizations that are tracking this.
I don’t know much about USA/Australia and New Zealand but I can imagine they have similar recourses.
