What kind of projection scheme are you looking for?

There are over a dozen ways of displaying a map, converting from spherical to some flat 2-D form.

I agree with the above posters, we'll need more info before anyone can provide you with anything solid.

Also, what file format are you looking for? (PSD, PNG, JPEG, etc.)

Im not sure what its called but what Im looking for is a blank overview of a world with only the lat and long lines. One that I can print so I can draw my own continents to match my world. I dont know if this helps but i hope it will.

JPEG is fine

Thanks for the help.

Take a look here (http://www.scotese.com/earth.htm) for a serie of maps presenting Earth at different geological times.

Etarnon i would like it to look like the Oval World Map (Robinson Projection) from the second link.
Thanks for the link that really helps narrow down the type of map Im looking for.

Okay. About an Hour. Look for a link this thread after the server resets. I'll host it on my site. Let me know when you get it, so I can pull it down.

PM Sent. Let me know when you get it.

Based on the limited info, this is what I came up with, hand drawn.

If you need something different, (other than a simple resize or something), You'd need to get it from someone else, because I'm behind on my own campaign.

Good luck with your map.
