pathalogical said:Speaking of maps, does anyone use a street map to look up addresses when they are called out ? You know, to get a better idea of where police, fire and ems are going. Especially when the police is setting up a perimiter to contain a suspect. I have a little project in mind but the huge MapArt laminated wall map is way to big. They do make an EasyFinder folded map but it's not the complete map of Toronto, anything north of the 401 is cut off. Rand McNally also makes a FastTrack folded laminated, but it's the same thing, a cut version of TO. Both offer custom maps, but that may mean $$$. I want it to be laminated. Not sure about Perlys. Any ideas, suggestions, other map manufacturers ?
MapArt books are the best ! Online MapQuest sucks ! I never did like MapQuest, they just look like cartoon drawings. Besides, I'm not in front of my PC all the time.jellotor said:If I really need to know where something is happening, I use Microsoft Streets & Trips. At work we use a combination of MapArt books and Mapquest.
Two maps at 23 x 8 feet !!! Plus the others ! Just how big is your shack ? You're gonna have to post some pics. My basement shack is 13' x 16', sounds like you're doing a wrap around the room thing.wyldman said:The maps that they refer to are all special maps that they have created.If your lucky,you may be able to stop by a local station,and get the old pages they throw out when updated ones come in.This happens quite a bit in areas where there is a lot of construction,and new streets are being added all the time.You could also ask to borrow a spare,and photocopy it.You need to find a friendly firefighter though,most won't give you the time of day once you start asking about the technical stuff.
The maps I am having done are quite large.Two are 23X8,one is 14X8,and the other is 10X8.It is a close friend who I do computer work for,so I am getting them done no charge.Normally this kind of stuff goes for $6 a sq\ft and up.I'd probably be looking well over $2000 to have it done.The problem we are having is getting a good enough original to use.Most of the stuff is too low resolution to be blown up that big.If anyone has any good high res maps (in EPS or TIFF),I'd love to have them.
