Know of any good country/city maps online?

[Carolc]

I want to use my printer to print some maps (these will be for each of my World Showcase pages). I don't want them to show the entire country, just a section (but not necessarily down to street level).

I know Google has maps, but a little too colorful for what I want - I want something that kind of looks old, without bright colors.

Any one know of any good websites?

What if you used Google as a jumping board? Maybe the local communities would have their own maps, so look for Chamber of Commerces? or Real Estate sites?

You could always take a section of map from google or elsewhere and save the picture and make it look older or more faded in a image software (PSP/PS/whatever you use). Then print it to use for your background.

This is what I ended up doing. Not exactly the look I was hoping for, but it should be okay.

Thanks!

Let us know how it turns out, sounds like a great idea!
