Freeport---map pdf or jpg?

[Desdichado]

So, I bought the Pirates' Guide to Freeport at GenCon, and there's a chance I may be using it soon. It's got a nice big 11x17 sized map on the inside cover, but that's not really a very convenient place for the map to be, honestly. What I'd really like to have is a pdf or jpg that I could print off on 11x17 paper and use as a reference while I'm reading, and have as a hand-out for my players.

I poked around the GR site and all I could find was a much earlier and less detailed map that corresponds to the earlier Freeport setting book. Does anyone know if there's another one out there? Or has anyone created one? I could really use a nice map image file.

The PDF version came with two PDF map "booklets" for the city map and the islands map. Unfortunately, I find them hard to read at 100% "actual" size, and they start to pixelate out at about 200% zoom in Acrobat.

Perhaps GR will consider re-releasing the maps at a higher resolution and make them available to everyone including those who own the print version.

That's what I was hoping. I posted the question on their boards, but traffic is so slow that I honestly thought I might have a better chance of having it seen here... I know folks like Schwalb, Pramas and others from the GR team post here with some frequency.

Anyway, yeah... I'm just looking for the map, because in the book it's very difficult to utilize. I really need a detachable version.

Yeah, it's a beautiful map but not very functional in it's present form, digital or print.

Another thing the GR folks might consider - make it available for poster purchase through these guys (who I've only heard good things about):

Well, I did find the low-res copy they have on their Freeport blog and print it off on a Legal sheet of paper. It's OK for basic layout, but I can't read any of the numbers on the map, or the legends.
