You guys work so fast I can't keep up with the comments!

Really, really wonderful maps there. The Toyama and Osaka maps are my favorites of this bunch!

[cogeo]

I see the Greece pack hasn't yet been released, although it was showcased long ago. Any problems with it?

Also I didn't see any pics of the Thessaloniki region, but as you had said it's done already. Any progress? Just wanted to take a look.

DEM Map of Mars

Mars Topography

DEM of Spirit's Trek  (You will need to edit out the track of Spirit)

Thematic Map of Martian Topography  (You will need to 'capture" the image in the PDF.

HiRISE Image of Mars

Mars Heightfield

Mapping the mars Rovers' Landing Sites

Maps of Mars Published by the U.S. Geological Survey  (Will require some editing)

MDIM 2.1 Mars Global Digital Image Mosaic

Valles Marineris - The Grand Canyon of Mars  (Will require some editing)

Oover and Spirit on Mars  (Will require some editing>

Olympus Mons

Topgraphic Maps of Iani Chaos, Mars

I hope you'll be able to use some of these images.

This is a wonderful project and an excellent series of maps.  Thanks to both of you for your time and effort and for sharing them with us.

Gary

I disappeared because I lost my internet connection last [probably some fool driver not paying attention to their driving and hits a poll, because they were was to busy yapping on a cell phone ], and didn't get my connection back until about an hour ago.  Sorry about that.  Good news to hear that I'll have the goodies delivered on time

Hello right back at you and thanks for dropping by  

Well, after each of us doing our own thing after papab became a team member of NHP, we realized that we wanted to map the same areas.  Soooooo , a treaty signed and we joined forces.  Then it was a matter of getting all of our finished maps cataloged and combined into one massive archive numbering over a hundred.  The Paks above, minus the Tokyo Paks, were completed just before my pc got hit with nearly two dozen trojans and the blade2k5 map factory down for a week or so      

You bet Gary   Before papab and I begin working on a much larger country [actually it's a Continent  hint hint ], we want to finished uploading the Country Paks to those places we won't be returning to for a while, or that we're finished with.  More finer details on this massive project coming very soon in these pages and in papab's pages.

Best maps I have ever seen.  The last set was great and I especially like the Toyko set.

Robin 

I'm glad you liked them   Maybe you'll like the Scotland Pak(s) and England that are ready  to burst from the vaults so very soon

blade2k5,

Why do I have to be involved with a major region right now? These maps are INCREDIBLE! I cannot wait until I get my hands on the Tokyo super pack!!!

[un1]

Very nice maps, blade.  One question, why do you call them "Map Paks" not "Map Packs"? 

-un1

[sim-al2]

It sounds err... reads cooler I guess...
