I am currently working on a Force on Force game and need some high res maps for it.

What is the best way to get a high res map (or image that I can use as a map)?

Thanks.

Exactly WHAT do you want a map OF ?

There are a number of free resources for (fairly) high res maps, however, without knowing where you want a map of.. its hard to send you there :D

And how much detail do you need ? (i.e. what scale are you thinking ? 1:10,000 ? 1:2,000 ? )

And how big an area do you need to cover ? 1km x 1km ?

I am looking for some of the terrain over in Afghanistan.
1:2000 would be great for what I am planing on.

Where can I get some of those types of images?
Thanks!

You can import Google Earth images into SketchUp and work with a graphic scale from there. There's even a way to turn on the 3D terrain.
