I need some free downloadable US maps

[TheoPetro]

Is there a website or a program (maybe similar to google earth) where I can download a map of Ohio that has the streets on it?

I need to be able to access the maps while not online.

Do you need the full state, or just a specific local area(s)?

 

[TheoPetro]

I need the whole state. We do work all over this place and local areas I dont think would work.

 

[metalmania]

you need a not-free Microsoft Mappoint 2006.

Did you look here?

they sell maps in gas stations, you could shoplift it, but buying it would be better

walmart has those road atlases

Are you that cheap that you can't spend $10-20 on an atlas?

"All over this place" is a little broad.

If you're talking about just a few counties, give each county's auditor's office a call. I know that some counties have GIS departments that will export very detailed maps to PDF.

If you have AAA you can get maps of anywhere free. Just walk in and tell them what you need.

Some rest areas have free state maps.

Build a time machine, set it for Dayton, 1959, go into the nearest gas station, profit!

If you're familar with GIS or want to explore new programs (ArcExplorer), you can probably get free GIS data from Ohio gov websites. It should gives you the information you're looking for and lots more.

Actually, if the maps don't need to be super accurate, just download the Tiger shapefiles from ESRI, as well as the free ESRI shapefile viewer. They are freely available on ESRI's website...
