handling map tiles

Question

I want to build a C# app using map. I want it to contain the map.

1. where to find a world map that can be saved on my computer.
2. How to handle the map zoom level and center point?

maybe there is a good api for accessing the map object?

thanks

You can find a wide variety of maps at the Xplanet Maps page. You didn't specify what kind of map you wanted, or what scale, so you may need to be more specific in what you want.
