In some of the posts leading up to this it was implied that we would have access to high resolution versions of the maps for printing and digital table tops. They don't seem to be available or I don't know where to look.

The most memorable stories always begin with failure.
Those maps are low resolution and not intended at all for creating interactive maps. On top of that, many adventure maps are almost illegible, such the doom vault.
I too was under the impression we were going to get access to higher quality maps, comparable to those found in Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds. I'm extremely disappointed that I can't get high-resolution assets DIRECTLY from the creators of the product, but have to go through 3rd party avenues.
I too am very disappointed at the low resolution of the maps (just bought LMoP as a tester adventure). They are definitely not of a high enough quality to use at the table. I've also purchased the original map pack from Mike Schley and this is the level of resolution I was expecting and I feel is required. Unfortunately this will certainly affect my inclination to purchasing further adventures via DnDB.
ok, that's fine, but maybe in that case special care needs to be taken in specifying the size of the maps included in the different APs, especially as it seems like the quality is going to be a variable? Or maybe WotC just haven't supplied the correct images? I know they exist as, as previously stated, I bought the map pack from Mike Schley's site, and they are hi-res, so they definitely exist. People will be wanting to use the maps printed out, or otherwise displayed (I use a 40" HD tv flat on the gaming table as my map - works brilliantly!) for use with miniatures.
I hope that the LMoP maps prove to be the exception rather than the rule, and that maybe something can be done to replace the maps presently included, especially as this will probably be the first AP many new groups invest in and it could turn them of all the more expensive products if they feel the included maps will be of a similar low quality.
Thanks for engaging with us with regard this, but I think it's well worth thinking about the situation going forward.
Loving DnDB in general otherwise, and looking forward to using it.

The maps appear in the digital books in the same locations they appear in the physical book. You can download the picture from there.

I purchased just "Against the Giants" from Tales. I can't seem to find the maps. Any help would be appreciated.
Open the maps in a new tab on your browser. it will be high-res.
Hi,
I'm sorry but that's certainly not true of the maps in LMoP.
I am going to have to disagree about them being high resolution. They are 72dpi png files.

And the Wave Echo Cave map seems to 818 x 600 pixels, which is far from hi-res.
OK, I tried the map 5.3 from Dead in Thay. Downloading it shows me 1623*1623 pixels.
As far as I can understand, the maps in LmoP are that small because the original maps from WotC are that small.

I checked also the others adventurers. The maps seems big enough. I will definitely ask why LmoP is showing maps not that big.
thanks for looking into this :)
Thank you for the swift response. Great customer service!
(I don't suppose there's any chance of WotC also providing PC friendly (no numbers, traps or secret doors) versions...? - it never hurts to ask! :)

Since everyone's so busy, I personally went in and fixed the maps for LMoP. They should be gigantic now.
As for player-only maps, we're going to see what we can do about them - let you know!

No player maps make the adventures a non-starter. These are vital to a digital adventure product.
