Like this?

$149 is a bargin considering how long it would take me to trace it.

Quantum GIS is an open source mapping software that is quite flexible. The learning curve is almost verticle.

I was looking through the open source thing but they don't export to eps, ai, or pdf. It is a cool app anyway!

No experience with it, but Mapserver has gotten some decent reviews.

Thank you for the replies

I am already on the vertical cliff face that is CSS, so no new vertical curves I think :-)

monkeythumpa - the link to these maps is pretty spot on I think..

Thank you all for your time, I shall now go persuade my collegue we need to part with $149

until next time

You might take a look at the CIA World Factbook.

They not only have maps, but detailed information on every country on the planet.

Their .pdf maps have some limited Vector editing capabilities.

The canonical reference for mapping information in Britain is Ordnance Survey [ordnancesurvey.co.uk].

I have no idea whether their prices would be acceptable to you or not, but it's probably worth making at least an initial enquiry to investigate what they can do for you.
