Brigada participant, Peter, wrote this past week to ask, “Where do you go to find a simple map when you are putting together a presentation? You’re not looking for fancy topographical stuff or lots of stuff already communicated. You’re just communicating to an audience where to find this country or city. You’ve got to find something where you’re not stepping on copyright, but you don’t have time to photoshop out all of someone else’s arrows and notes before you put in your own material. Where are the simple maps kept?” Can you help Pete out? If you have a favorite mapping site, please click “Comment” under the web version of this item. Thanks!
I have used Encarta for years and it is easy to use, easy to customize and gives you all you need for maps. Doug

Peter, great question. If you go to our site http://www.gmi.org the links at the bottom provide many free maps. You can also generate your own maps on http://www.missioninfobank.com and then print them out. Another amazing tool is http://www.thefutureoftheglobalchurch.org – all of Patrick Johnstone’s graphics, power points and maps available if you purchase the digital collection.
If you contact us at info@gmi.org we can also help you brainstorm some of the best tools for mapping.
