Well, just a mo Jax...
Cu11, if I got you this map on left at this detail on right (i.e. 4K x 3K total) would that be ok ? Because this is the Blue Marble map from NASA which is public domain and not copyright (or if not its a free to use map anyway). I.e. you dont get to own the map but you can use it for free in your app ? Im not sure what it is you want me to do to *a* map to make it more like this one as it stands. You can edit the map and make the edits of it copyright but as far as I can tell your after real Egypt in real satellite colors... so is this ok ?
Edit: see http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view_se...ategoryID=2363 and click on Terms of use, note
EDIT 2: Also, I am using the 52K x 26K image. There was released an even higher res version and we linked to that one here too: Check out."For all non-private uses, NASA's Terms Of Use are as follows:
1. The imagery is free of licensing fees
2. NASA requires that they be provided a credit as the owners of the imagery
Visible Earth Addendum
Beyond the NASA Terms, the Visible Earth team requests, but does not require:
1. The Visible Earth be provided a credit as the location that the imagery was found at
2. A URL be provided, either to the Visible Earth (http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/) or to the page providing the link to the used image.
