I would have thought you already saw it. This one is from the Trolls blog.

Rhu old pal, I would imagine that a high res pic would not be a good idea to post up on the boards....it would be all too easy to copy/paste or save the image to your hard drive. Some folks would then print it out at home; those of us who spend a fair amount of time in Photoshop and other such programs could then break into any section we want and print it out endless maps of various encounter areas. No need to purchase the product at that point. I think Steve just posted this to give us an idea of the magnitude of the project.

What's the scale on this? How bit, for example, is the Inner Sea? Are we talking "Europe" or "North America" scales?

The scale of Aihrde has always been left up to the individual GM. So it is literally whatever you set it at. Maybe this time they will set an official scale, but not yet.

Scale on the map, that is kinda hard to see right now, is 1 inch = 24 miles.

Its 54 inches across at full size.
