North America Map

[Eric]

Hello Everyone,

I use Visio fairly regularly, however recently I have been charged with
helping some of the marketing folk. They have asked for a full map of North
America with all of the states and provinces outlined.

I figured I’d start with Visio as my application set is fairly limited. I
know Visio has maps of Canada and the US but what I've found doesn't have the
provinces or states outlined.

Does anyone know where I can find a map as I described? As long as I can
edit it in some form of office we can make it work.

Thanks for your help.

Maybe this helps (pls. note the latest tip there):

You could also look for an older Visio copy (for instance, V2K pre-MS came
with the single maps you want).

Thanks for your reply Frank. I've looked at those shapes already and I
actually started rebuilding the US. Unfortunatly Visio 2003 doesn't come with
any shapes for Canadian provinces.

I'll ask around for some older versions.

Thanks Frank.

I asked a few people I know with older versions of Visio to take a look for
the shapes I needed. They were able to provide them.

The only issue was I had to 'build' the map from all of the shaps. At the
very least it let me brush up on the location of some of these places.

Thanks for your help Frank.
