Does anyone know where I can get free stock geographical maps? I need individual countries that are decent quality. I have searched but haven't turned up anything as yet.

Check out http://cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/docs/refmaps.html

You might want to double check this, but I believe that all US government publications such as this one are in the public domain unless otherwise stated. I don't see a copyright notice anywhere on the page so I assume that you could use these however you like.

I was looking into this a while ago; I found some nice stock maps for sale, but this was like several hundred dollars a pop. I don't know what you are planning on doing with this, but one alternative would be to use the google maps api.

Here are some great examples of what its been used for: http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/
