Where to get a very-high detail WoW map?

The title says it all.
I googled a lot, but couldn't find a good one (I mean, a bitmap quality map). Something like the images that the default WoW minimap shows would be great. If I could find a full-blown WoW map with such high details as those, it would be great.
Does someone know a way?
Thx in advance.

It isn't nearly as good as a bitmap or the default WoW minimap one... but thank you for your 2 cents.
Anyone else? Maybe there is a way to extract the original map images from some WoW file?

You

realize that's exactly what they did for mapwow, right?

If they did that, then my grandma could have done better. If you zoom in until the ground level, you will see that mapwow is granulated, while the in-game minimap images are gorgeous.
But, besides that, maybe someone has gotten the Collector's Edition and could scan the map and share with us?

the Lich King should've animated
this.
Then he could just have it eat Dalaran whole.

Oh shi- Lol, I had never noticed that skeleton there. Indeed, why bother with Sindragosa? That think seems 5x bigger.

It's "granulated" because you're zooming in more than the normal in-game minimap allows, so it appears blurry or pixellated (which it is). Not sure what map from CE you're talking about, unless you mean the mousepads. Those are somewhere in your game files as well, but I'm not sure where. Anyway, they just outline where the zones are, and don't provide the detail that the minimaps give.
You won. I will use mapwow, then.
Thank you for your replies.
