Claim:
A computer-implemented method for use in creating an electronic design of a product intended for subsequent printing, the method comprising making electronic map information available to a server computer system, the map information containing information covering a relatively large geographical area and being configured to produce relatively high resolution maps, in response to information received from a client computer system identifying a location within the relatively large geographical area, obtaining a relatively high resolution user map from the map information, the user map covering a relatively small geographical area that includes at least the identified location, generating a lower resolution display map version of the user map, the display map being suitable for displaying at the client, transmitting the display map to the client for displaying to the user, receiving a description of an electronic product design from the client, the description identifying at least a portion of the display map, and associating the identified portion of the display map with the corresponding higher resolution map information such that when the product is printed the product design is printed using the higher resolution user map.
