Rats. I did. I did the entire Foxglove manor and all floors of the Seven's Sawmill. And I didn't save them anywhere after I was done. I have learned my lesson.
In case anyone's curious, I have had great luck recently with the latest full version of Adobe Acrobat 8. When I use the select image tool and then paste the map to my photo editing software it doesn't take the tags along with it, making enlarging and printing a super-snap.
If Paizo meant to do this (to help those strange enough to be doing this) or not, THANKS!

I've got combat maps for the Misgivings, not sure if they're exactly what you want - I play with a projector and MapTools, so the maps I have are 32 pixels per square.
I don't know how to make them available to the general populace, however. Is there a good, easy, free filedumping site that I can use? I have a flickr account, but I'm not sure if it will let me upload in the right resolution.

Well that was easier than I expected. I threw them up on Flickr.

They're pretty standard, although one thing I'm kinda proud of is that I superimposed the upper floors of the house on the original ground floor map, so you can show players what's outside the windows, and have a place to play out one of the attic haunts.
I sort of guessed at the location of the weathervane on the roof and tossed it in.
So long as Flickr doesn't have a downloading cap (it looked like I can upload 100 MB per month, but people can download as much as they like from Flickr, right?) they should be all set. Enjoy!

Sidenote: I'm only putting this stuff out there because I've seen a lot of other posts relating to providing these types of maps, and it seems like Paizo's down with it... If it's against any official policies, please let me know!
Second Sidenote: I just realized they resized them to max width of 1024 pixels. If anyone knows of a better free place to host the images (which are larger, more like 1600 pixels wide) please let me know.

Absolutely. Post your maps to a site dedicated to sharing maps for RPGs.
www.rpgmapshare.comJust don't forget to set the "Usage Indicator" for each piece you upload (i.e., "Personal Use Only" or "Personal & Commercial"), or it will be deleted.

Well, here's my shot at a map using Dundjinni. It's the first level of Foxglove Manor (of which I've done all levels for my game. The map is huge, being 7.4 megs. It should come out to be battlemat sized for those who may want to use it.
If people are interested in the others, post here and I can load them as well. Or let me know if it's not the right dimensions (I use mine for the projector, so I don't remember what's best for printing).

Photoshop thinks it's 800 pixels per inch, which makes the whole thing about 5 inches across when you print it. Preview agrees, so I think there's some odd info embedded in the file. The artwork is nice, but without a visible grid, it's hard to tell how to scale it...
