-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Outline Maps Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2006 16:51:00 +0000 (GMT) From: Harold Cook <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] To illustrate some developments in global history, I wish to make some simple outline maps of various regions of the world, just needing to show coastlines and major rivers, on which I can add dots and names for cities. Is there a such a basic set in the electronic public domain, or a simple for-sale program? Would a good alternative be to download satellite photos of terrain and land-masses, and add labels to them? Advice would be very welcome. Thanks in advance. Harold J. Cook, Ph.D. FRCP (hon.)
