I'm looking for a recent map ot Titan. Steve Albers's page links to one done by Fridger Schrempp in April 2005. Cassini has done a dozen flybys since then. Does anyone know if an updated map has been released.

Made a 32K version of my previous Titan map. The sand dunes and individual valleys are easily visible

Now if only the USGS would release a HISAR map with the last 2 years of swaths that would be great.

As I realized an update from USGS won't be arriving anytime soon, I proceeded to create my own version of SAR map for flybys 108, 113, 120, 121 from BIDRs.
It was a steep learning curve working with this dataset at the beginning, with some details of the process still eluding me, but in the end all the pieces fell into their right places
and a little more of the Titan's surface got revealed. Here is a result, down-sampled to fit in here. VIMS map is at the bottom, overlayed by transparent USGS SAR map to T104 and finally
T108-121 coverage on top in B&W.
