eek, i've been subscribing to Eve for 'donkeys' now and yet I am thinking do i post in this subforum or the general discussion but well, the resulting info might be good for newbies too anyway- did a quick google search but only really saw the DOTLAN map.

My question, is there a colourful noncopyrighted EVEOnline map pdf or jpeg that i can stick on a usb stick and take to my nearest printers to get poster(-s)ized? the one i've seen though clear looks like just a black and white flowchart- not something i fancy putting on a wall...what i'm after is colourful but clear (and no colouring it in please statements , lol, you cheeky people :) (i'm after something which looks decent)

also the evestrategic maps collection, ive seen advertised as 'new' by what appears like a company on UK Amazon or perhaps, he's just using his company account. (edit: oops and 'in stock' ). does anyone know anything about this? (it included a poster at one point so i'm also thinking about this 'route' aswell.

thanks in advance

Have you tried Ombrey's maps. Not sure if they are what you want, but they look nice and its in PDF format.

Maybe this is what you are looking for.
It's a paid version though.

I can do custom sizes and colours too. Smile

Just thought 9000x9000 and 4000x4000 would be enough for most people Blink

thanks for all the help guys. Yup the EveOnline store one no longer works. get a 404 error..i think they stopped linking the maps when the Eve Magazine site ended. Think the publisher still does them (Amazon UK listed by a publisher if i'm allowed to say that?)

the Omb(r)ey one is nice and simple..i'll go with that. thanks for the link, is appreciated. just what I need. only really for an overview.

Beware that Ombey left EVE a while back, and his PDF is a little outdated.

Specifically it is missing outposts that were built after it was published. I also seem to recall someone telling me there was a system connection (stargates) missing, but I can't seem to find that post at the moment, and I think it was in nulsec.

Any printed out map will be missing outposts after about a week of existence.

The last gates added were in FW regions as a part of the FW overhaul in Retribution (roughly in the midle of the page, under World Shaping). I don't recall any nullsec gates added since Apocrypha (when I started playing).

This.

The gates added were in empire as part of the FW overhaul.


Quote:
World Shaping

A jump connection between Kurniainen (Bleak Lands) and Isbrabata (Metropolis) has been added
A jump connection between Siseide (Heimatar) to Eszur (Metropolis) has been added
A jump connection between Gulmorogod (Heimatar) to Egmar (Metropolis) has been added



EDIT:

I use a print out map. Not for the outposts etc. mainly to check what alternatives there are to the routes my AP gives me.
So if I find out that gate "x" is heavily camped, get to a safe spot...pull the map of that region / regions and check if there is a way around the camp.

Or you could just right-click the system in your AP route and set it to avoid the system. Blink
