Well if you consider that they were made for free, quick maps that GM's could use then they're pretty good.  I would be tempted if they included a bunch of nicer maps that were new for the publication.  EUOL uses the map a week stuff from wizards in his campaing and they work quite well.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

the problem with this product, though, is that it's not free, even though the contents are available for free.

I know, but they're not that bad of maps.  And as I stated, if Wizards actualy included new maps that were bigger or something like that, then they might actualy sell more.  I think the only people that will buy this are those that don't have access to the internet.  Becasue these you can acutaly print off pretty dange cheep.

Edit: Apperently there's a second one of these comming out in a few months that's supposed to contain only new material.  Hopefully they'll make some better ones.  Also inclideing PDF's of the maps on a included CD would be nice.
