Unfortunately after a significant amount of searching i've only been able to 
find ascii versions of the CIA maps (which were on the page you suggested 
Andrew). The maps with plPlot are binary so these don't work.
 
If anyone has copies of more detailed maps then I'd appreciate it if you'd let 
me know. At the moment I'm going to have to read in and plot the ascii maps as 
a line plot, but I won't end up with the useful features of the plmaps routine.
 
Cheers
 
Phil

It was the CIA World DataBank map format. Many years ago I did use higher res 
versions for something or other - they are out there if you look. 
http://www.evl.uic.edu/pape/data/WDB/ might be some from what I can see.
