These are tiffs dimensions. 8km version in jpg is 2M (I have this one
- beautiful) 500m is definitely an overkill for wide public. 8km
resolution is IMO good enough for most people. Processing it as the
whole could be time consuming but it may be solved as tiles  - similarly to
Google. Or maybe screw internal solution. For quick view use something
similar to KAddressbook widget and for more detailed call
maps.google.com? IMO it is not the best solution as long Google doesn't
play nice with Konqueror but puts less strain on developers. Another
solution would be some use of Google API (licenses?).

Xplanet has scripts which are defining borders by coordinates.
