I went looking for some hi-res image maps of Earth, and I thought I'd
share the fruits of my labour with everyone.  The following link has
some rather good maps of Earth and other planets:

http://apollo.spaceports.com/~jhasting/earth.html

The files are available in very high resolutions - the JPEG was 11.5MB!

This link...

http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/

Has some decent maps too, with an excessively detailed set for Mars
(50+MB!)

The first link has many interesting links out of the page to other
resources, including a HUGE topography map of Mars (120MB), suitable (I
believe) for surface flybys.  This one's making my cable modem think
it's using a phone line it's taking so long :)

I just hope I can use these images in the end (I have a very old
computer)...
