I am looking for a good map of amsterdam (mostly central amsterdam) where I can put in point of interest via their address and the locations would then appear as pinpoints

anyone have any ideas on this one?

I guess it would also be good to have a map that can be copied into paintbrush or photoshop or something and then printed as a jpg or something so the size/resolution isn't lost

what do you think?

The lower drop-down list in the left column under the axxxtw logo also has maps. The most recent addition, a tourist map, includes a number of points of interest besides window areas and coffee shops.

thanks good tips

I was really hoping for an actual program that lets the user mark places of interest
if this doesn't exist someone should steal my idea and make some cashola...
just a thought

You can add pushpins to msn's maps at http://mappoint.msn.com/ . To save your pins you'll need to login. Google Earth also has a pushpin feature but it sounds like you're looking for an actual map instead of a sat photo.

If you're looking for maps you can store on your computer and access w/out a net connection you could try Microsoft AutoRoute, the European version of what's called Streets & Trips in the US. It has pushpins.

I can't for the life of me figuer out how to save pushpins with that MSN link

I logged in and everything, and it seems like the addresses get a pushpin automatically when they are located, but you can only view 1 location at a time and can only list 1 location by pin at a time

I want a map where I can mark multiple places and view them all at 1 time
similar to some of the other maps out there

and do I have to buy that Microsoft program? or is there an easy way to do all this?

It isn't very straight forward but the good news is you don't have to buy anything. :) I'll PM you with the instructions.
