Vector map is the same as paper map

but in digital resizable format in .AI, .pdf, .eps etc.
I have the vector maps of the whole world, but I need detail maps of my country's capital, because I need it for my studies...

I think it's called a vector map because of the lines on it.

no, its because u can change everthing on the map, drag and drop shit, etc... . But u need a special program for that task, ArcGis, VPFView.

yeah, I've been starting to use MapInfo Professional @ work, but still learning the ins and outs. My work is cheap (well also a non-profit), so I have to pirate the software and learn at home on my own time Razz

but goddamn, the mapping files we use cost like $11,000 and need to be bought after every 5 year census!
