Anybody got a nice map PPT or image file that can be used for directions?
It will be up on a 60" display so it needs to be clear. |

Google Earth is ok but it's for 1st year MS students. I want to have it so that it's a bit easier.
I like it though |

Where is there a city with a classic block layout in squares or rectangles? |

look for a city that was planned from the ground up. I believe that Washington D.C is a planned city as is Brasilia. Check this wikipedia page for more. |

I was going suggest Salt Lake City.
It's hard to find a squarer city than Salt Lake. |

I yoinked this one from a website. I found it by googling 'efl map directions'
It is a gif with transparent background so looks great on ppt backgrounds. Feel free to engage in some further yoinking

Try to find something that is an Adobe PDf file. Vector graphics will blow up without any loss of quality. |

I second that, they provide the best clarity when using the big screen. There is a student friendly map on page 47 of interchange here....

Just extract the page and then import that to ppt. Or capture on the screen but this is less effective...
