Maps

I would look at using openstreetmap.org. You can export their maps in a large png and jpg format. If you need it even larger, export it as a vector pdf or svg, which you can then scale to any size.

Then take that file to a local print shop and have then print it for you at the desired size.

I have never done that, but have heard of people doing it.

I spent two days googling for map sites and never saw this one.  I downloaded an svg file and am trying to figure out how to use it since I've never used this format.  I'm going to check with a print shop to see if they can print it.  I'll let you know how it works out.

We are planning on spending 2 months in Cuenca next year.  We lived in Seattle for many years and the weather down there seems similar and is not an issue if that is so.

Thanks so much for your help.  I think this forum is going to be a great resource.

Hello,
There is some stores in Cuenca where you can buy a map. The best are in Monsalve office suplies. You can get one for free in the Tourism Office in downtown Cuenca.

Openstreetmap web page is very good, better and reliable than Google or Mapquest maps.

Thank you so much.  I will try to contact them via or phone and see if we can work something out.
