Help and frequently asked questions

Open the map or Explore page, enter a place name and select a result. You can browse information about the place, its history and sources. There is nothing to install.

Enter a name such as Poznań, Kraków or a known object and submit the search. Results depend on selected country, category and available public data. If nothing appears, check the spelling and try the All filter.

The available filters are All, Mines, Mineral deposits, Mining areas, Heritage, Places, Administration, Industry and Transport. Each selection limits relevant results and supported map layers.

On narrow screens use Search and filters or Map to move between the results panel and the map. After checking place details you can return to the map without typing your search term again.

Select a result or a supported feature on the map. The panel shows a public description and available context. When a permanent detail address exists, copy it to share that same location with another person.

No. The order of points on the Routes page is editorial, rather than calculated road navigation. Curated routes help explore connected themes. Open individual descriptions to inspect supporting sources.

The interactive map offers English and Polish plus a country selector. Coverage varies across countries. Switching the interface language does not automatically translate original source records.

When an object has documented earlier names or source validity periods, choose a year in the historical view. The date of a registry update is not necessarily the creation date of a real-world object.

The individual datasets differ in coverage and publication rights. Clear the thematic filter, check country selection and try an alternative spelling. A missing result is not evidence that a place does not exist.

Source facts point to specific supporting material. Inference or reconstruction requires separate justification. Spatial proximity alone does not demonstrate a causal relationship between sites.

NexaAtlas documents data lineage, licences and publication limits. Some records include citations, source revisions and relations. The atlas does not replace official registers or professional advice.

Sensitive sites and private finds can have intentionally generalized public geometry. This protects location data and is not a malfunction. Do not attempt to recover undisclosed precise coordinates.

The most detailed coverage is in Poland. Basic information about selected places is also available in Austria, Czechia, France, Germany and Slovakia. Coverage varies by country and source.

Check your connection, reload the page or switch views. If the problem returns, record the approximate time, page URL, selected layer and general map area. Share this information through the Contact page.

Provide a public place URL, relevant layer and the exact statement you believe is incorrect. Add a reliable correction source where possible. Reports are reviewed rather than automatically changing the data.
