Maps Online
I love the maps in my guide books however find it difficult to copy them as it is not easy to get them to flatten out. I never travel w/ the books and just want a tourist map which will show streets and the highlights in a city. Are there any good ones for free that can just be copied from the Internet? I know I can wait to get them once in a city but would rather copy my own so that they are just one lightweight page that I can fold into my pocket.

I tried Google Maps but it only gives MAJOR sites not all the secondary sites which are on tourist maps. Any other suggestions? I am going to Venice and it is all walking so I need a very clear, exact map so that I don't waste time wondering around. I know this can be fun however I will only have two days there so need to be productive.

I use frommers.com sometimes to get maps. They have most of their maps from their books in online format. Here is a list of their Rome maps http://www.frommers.com/destinations/rome/64_maps.html

Here's one that would be pretty hard to beat:

AAA Spiral Guides have maps on bound-in pages the same size as the text (no fold-outs).

Hi
Haven't found any yet for free. Plenty for sale. The alternative is to visit the Tourist office when you get there. I found the tourist maps excellent. Why they don't make them available via their official websites is a mystery to me (but relief for the map sellers no doubt). Official website - http://www.turismovenezia.it/eng/
