I don't entirely know if this is the most approriate section or not, but I want to know if there is an online site that will allow you to get detailed blank maps of countries and their states. I'm particular interested in finding a detailed map of south western australia though.

I apologise if this is the wrong section and if it is then could you please move it to the most appropriate.

Thanks guys

Big Man,

Try Google Earth http://www.google.com/earth/" for detailed maps, google Earth can get as detailed as possible, but its a little bit out of date tho :rolleyes:

Google Earth is probably the best free option that doesn't require you having access to the United States NSA's PREDATOR spy satellite system. :)

You can do this with http://www.aardvarkmap.net - it's a tool we've just developed that works in conjunction with Google Maps but makes the whole process of adding a map to your site much simpler.

Hope this helps,

Aaron

They've got a seamless refresh rate. Its also associated with Google earth. This is what gaming technology has done for us.:rolleyes:

That's pretty awesome. I don't think it has all the little things Google Earth has though, that pop up on the map.
