Any sources of good map background tiff files

One of my biggest challenges to this point in using vapor is finding a suitable map background for plotting. Is there a repository of good map files, nothing flashy , just typical US political boundary outline map? I am trying to find something very simple like mapgrounds that are default maps with sofware like the Integrated Data Viewer maps.

There are a hand full of tiffs that come bundled with Vapor. With an Image renderer, you can pick one of these added tiff files.

Admittedly, these files are dated. In our next release I believe we’ll be integrating a geotiff generator. You can follow our progress on this github ticket. Basically we may allow users create geotiffs like this one, through the UI.
