Hey....I'm looking for a place that I can find very detailed maps of seattle
(preferrably for the computer) so that I can use them as source docs for
some of my runs? (I know how to make em look thermal and stuff like that
with my graphics apps so I could do that stuff but I need the original pics
to work with) I'd like street level maps (so if I put em all together and
set it up to automatically open zoomed WAY out they wouldn't be able to tell
anything and then I could give the source docs and let them search for it or
whatever

I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind but have you tried
Terraserver?

umm....no this definatly won't do what I need it to do.....Streets 98 is
almost what I want.....I just would rather have an image of just the seattle
area instead of having to fight through the whole map program thing

a couple of years ago i had one of those "atlas usa" disks, that was
pretty good. it even had .eps files of some maps, so you could open
them up in illustrator and really play with them. i would start with
something like that. it wasn't that expensive, maybe $20 us.

good luck.

this is more maps in general (i didn't find a seattle map like the
one you are looking for), but this site has some great international
maps and a ton of map links.

It's a hell of a long shot, but if you can find the First Ed Seattle
Sourcebook, it has everything you're looking for. (I got it through sheer
luck)
