Anyone know where I could get a map of Illinois with major cities and highways that I could legally use on one of my websites to build an interactive map for Illinois courses? It's going to be fairly simple with just a dot and town to signify the course and then you click on it and it will take you to the PDGA course directory listing for that course.

If you know of any maps, let me know. I thought maybe the Illinois convention and visitor's would have something but I haven't found anything yet.

Oh that would be sweet. I did a search on Google images a year or so for that do do the same thing...

I found a map. I got it on an official website for the state of Illinois and there were no (c) notices. I pay my taxes...I think I own the map already!  ;D

I've removed the names of the towns that don't have courses. Next I'll start putting on the towns that have courses but weren't on the map already.

I finished the map part but am still working on the interactive part. Check it out. http://www.discgolfuniversity.com I've linked up Round Lake, Gurnee and Waukegan. Still have a lot of courses to link up! I think I'll change it so that clicking on a link opens in a new window.

For people who aren't color blind (sorry Bruce) it is easier to tell which dot goes with which town when it would otherwise be ambiguous.
