This is one I considered briefly, but it is too low resolution. It also
has an inability to be saved with the right click and "save image as",
probably due to its asp programming. Add to this the fact that it is
tiled and in reality it is 6 smaller maps, all copyrighted, and it
becomes impossible to use it effectively. It is the right idea though,
so I wonder where they get their original data.
