[sldev] More detailed map images: possible?

Would it be possible for Linden Lab to provide more
detailed map images? let's say 5 or 10 times the
current size (256x256 pixel)

If possible at all, I guess it would be quite 
expensive to do that for the whole grid;
but again, there may be a market for this feature.
I think some users would pay a monthly fee for 
having a detailed map of their regions. Or, it could
be a Premium-only feature.

Why would I pay for a much more detailed map of my
sim? Because it's a practical way to show
*outside of Second Life* what's happening inside.
You can automate its use, and you can embed it in 
your website.

I do something similar at http://friendfeed.com/lolsl
and I'd like a much bigger image of the sim.

There are some great limitations (maps are only 
updated daily, or at least that's what happens to
my LOL region) but I think there's a potential too.
