Edit: this is not as detailed, but more responsive.

I actually bought this map a few months ago seeing it on a reddit post. It's a beautiful map and you can tell care was taken into producing it. It's about $45 USD, but I'm sure that barely pays for the amount of research they put into it. The labeling itself is meticulous.

Be warned. It ships from Germany so shipping is about 2-3 weeks.

Thanks for the link! Yeah, the custom google map tiles on the OP could be great but it takes 10sec to load whenever scrolling around. Hopefully they can get some CDN image hosting.
