google earth is pretty good. Not maps in the sense you mean, but aerial/sat photos showing everything. In my US campaigns set in 98, I can actually click on the time bar and see the area in '98 rather than 14 years later and all the development. Just a thought.. and it IS free.

Plus you can save the shot to a jpeg or bitmap for modifications etc. Some of the 'larger' shots aren't well detailed I find, but get down to the closer and you generally can get pretty good detail. More than enough for games I think.
