@DGreen. Yes, the Natural Earth data will get the job done for you and is one good alternative to Google Earth. But you’ll need to use an app like QGIS to load the data into and composite the layers. You’ll be able to make a map of Sudan approximately 11×17 inches (tabloid size), including generalized “satellite” imagery. You could also pay a Google Earth Pro license fee and get usage rights for the satellite imagery if you already find that app easy to use. If you need setup help, someone at Cartotalk.com could be hired.
Thank you VERY much for your reply, Nathaniel!
Is there any way of finding an appropriate individual on Cartotalk who would:
A – be willing to consider reduced fee for a grad student / indie filmmaker such as myself, and;
B – perhaps have some familiarity with / interest in Africa in particular?
… perhaps you could recommend someone?
