Going 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/
Excellent 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 proje…
A feature request: in addition to dragging the timeline smoothly across years, could there also be a step button that jumps to the next (or previous) change in the visible area?
Because if I'm looking at the US in 1623, my main question is, OK, so what happened next? I want to click a button and find out. And maybe even put a bold outline or something around the new border(s).
Having to scrub the timeline, overshoot, go back, now I can't remember what it looked like before, did I go too far? Is not the optimal UX for education. Like it's really cool to get the grand sweep of centuries, but not if I want to read the map over time like a story.
Not to take away from the phenomenal achievement that this already is! Just to make it even better.

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
There is a mistake, The "Northern" is missing from the Republic of Northern Macedonia.

Where is the Feedback button ? It is not shown in my map. There is a mistake, The "Northern" is missing from the Republic of Northern Macedonia.
"Northern" was added to the name in 2019, before it was just Republic of Macedonia.

I absolutely love this and have wanted something like this for so long.

I think this is especially important, because some areas may have changed several times within the same year.
Hi 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…
They way history is taught misses a lot of the context that only makes sense when you put it into a map like this one.
If you could somehow "open source" at least the data side of this, I'd be glad to contribute. I have a bunch of history books from ancient latino civilizations.
