    Source for Hi Res Maps?

    Posted by Terry Kean on November 30, 2012 at 4:15 pm

    I’m looking for a source (preferably free…or at least cheap) for hi res maps that I can use in a video project. I need to animate a boat along a waterway for a few miles and would like to be able to follow the boat along the path fairly closely so the map needs to be pretty large/hi resolution. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

    NASA has free maps if you are looking for satellite maps. It is not easy to find stuff on NASA’s site. A vector map will let you zoom in with no loss of quality and you can find them all over. iStockphoto.com is a good place. Hope this helps.

    Thanks…I tried NASA’s site but as you said….very difficult to navigate. Istockphoto didn’t have what I’m looking for…
    I know…very picky!
