I'm looking for a Mercanter projection of Mars that I can print out of my printer. Or even just a rectangle, where can I find one?

I built this:

Play with it. There's three different maps, a grid, labels and even links to EXTREMELY hi-rez downloads.

Also, I sent away to NASA for the poster of the altitude map. Cool! It's big! 5ft across!

If you go to my http://www.davesbrain.ca/portal.php" , look for my Mars section (3rd row). You will find quite a few links to large maps of Mars.
