Hello I have recently been doing a project where I find high resolution maps of a planet and put it into Google Earth. Then along with kml files found here http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/GIS_Downloads I make a big overlay with it and upload it into Google Earth Community. Along the way I give credit to the makers of the images and map overlays.

The problem is I have ran into issues with Jupiter's moon Io. I cannot find high resolution maps without labels of Io that are centered on 0E (Pele on the right). While searching for maps I remembered that some on UMSF are planetary map enthusiasts and I was wondering if you please could help me find one or make one. I have tried the maps from astropedia but the ones for Io are too big in order for Google Earth to cooperate. The reason I want them to be centered on 0E with Pele on the right is because the nomenclature kml from USGS has the places located to fit into this configuration and it would take a really long time to do it otherwise.
I am looking for a map in the vicinity of between 8192 x 4096 and 4000 x 2000
Along with that a way to properly credit the author.

I don't know if this is exactly place in the forum to put this post, it's been a while 5 year since I was last here when I was a lot younger.

When I was finding maps for Venus on Astropedia I had a 50% success rate of the 6 jpeg maps they had of that size to work with GE. 3 worked and 3 didn't. I am not sure if png will work, I don't think it will.
