    Default Looking for a good map of Rome

    I am looking for a good digital art map of Rome.
    I have been searching for maps of Rome that I might be able to use as a model for a city I am thinking of doing but I have been unable to find any good basic maps for vectoring. I would need to vector the Rome map unless if at all possible there is a vectored image that I can alter already out there.

    Barring any good digital maps of Rome are there any good maps of any of the ancient cities that I might be able to use?

    It would be awesome if there was a 3d model that I could peruse.
    If there are no good maps of Rome in 3d then just about any medieval or fantasy city would do in 3d. I'd like to see how it looks in 3d.

    Try QGis with OpenStreetMap. You can export from Qgis to PDF or SVG and load these files in Xara.

    Update: I got this thip from GoInkscape but one can use it for Xara as well. If you go to openstreetmap.org you can see some tools on the right side of the sreen. Pck the square with an arrow sticking out (share). Teher'll be a enu and choose "set custom dimensions" and as a format you can select SVG or PDF. The desired map will be downloaded to you PC and you can edit the result in your beloved vector editor..
