Wedding present help - map

Not sure if this is the most appropriate board, but figured you guys may be able to point me in the right direction.

My best friend got married in March, and I haven't yet given her the wedding gift. She lives abroad and got married elsewhere abroad, so it wasn't practical to give her the gift at the wedding! She is now coming back to UK in June so I need to organise the gift.

She met her now hubby in Japan, emigrated to Canada to live with him, and got married in the Carribean.

So what I want to give them is a simple frame, with 3 heart cut-outs, and displayed in each heart I want to put a map of one of the 3 places.

Does anyone know where I can buy a cheap map book to do this, or a website I can print one for free from? I have ordered the frame, the image size in the frame is 6inx5in.

Cheers

If you have a colour printer, you could just print a little image from google onto some photo paper, that way you can change the image size to fit the size you need. plus the photo paper will make it better quality than just normal a4 paper x

If you're not worried about copyright, then I'd say just google the place and the word map, e.g.
Canada map
and see what you find.

You probably wouldn't technically be allowed to print off someone else's picture but seeing as it's a one-off gift rather than something you're doing to make money then I can't see it really being an issue.

If you want to buy something, though, probably best to have a look in the likes of Wilkinsons or The Works to see if they've got anything cheap. Seems silly to spend lots of money on an atlas to cut out three pages.

You can print maps for free on the AA website.

Multimaps is another one.

You can make the maps the size you want and colour
