If you like the Dragonlance setting I also found this.

I cant seem to access that webpage... (the first one) i had found a 2nd edition map that was detailed and broken into about 12 parts, but i was holding out for the absolutly beutiful 3rd edition map

That's odd. Link works without problem for me.

Try moving up the "tree" to http://apocalypse.thegames.it then select "Mappa dei FR" on the righthand side. Looks like the 3rd edition map, broken into pieces, but then again I'm not really that updated on PnP RPGs these days.

I like the dragonlance map better though. All borders already drawn.

It might have something to do with me being on a military network right now (me being in the military and at work). Being the impulse buyer that i am and always willing to have an extra digital doodad on my computer i ended up purchasing the fractal mapper from nbos ( http://www.nbos.com/products/mapper/mapper.htm )because it seems like an awesome map creation utility, im lazy, and an rpg'er can never have enough maps. *cough* giving myself a little more credit than i deserve for following through im going to attempt to recreate a forgotten realms map at the proper scale, thus avoiding the over detail present in most of the maps i've seen and avoiding any unneccessary copywright issues. plus the mapper just looks really cool.

I might actually try and make an FR map using those 3rd Edition scans, as I love Forgotten Realms, always have, especialy the pre-Godswar one. There's the makings of a more than one scenario out of it if one is so inclined, and being unemployed right now, I've got spare time. If somebody else wants to do a Version as well, go for it. This might take a long time.

Of course, if they actually had the complete map of the continent with Kara-Tur also in there, it'd be much better. Anybody have an idea where I could get a Kara-Tur map consistent with the 3rd Edition FR map?

I was never all that keen on Maztica, but it could go as well, but that would be a huge project.

I couldn't find any highresolution maps of Kara-Tur, possibly because it's still very popular and a recent "Trail maps of Kara-Tur" seems to have been produced.

The Maztica setting is however available free for download. It will take a bit of photoshopping to make those maps work for Dominions 2 however.
