Digital Maps

Hi everybody,

   What are digital maps, are they digitized images or maps that are formed from layers like the ones that could be loaded into ArcView or MapInfo? I am aware that images could be loaded into these GIS softwares, but I need to know what people mean when they refer to digital maps.
I am also looking for Saudi Arabia maps, we have to install a vehicle tracking system for a company there but we're lacking the maps. I would appreciate if someone could point to map seller that has Saudi Arabia maps, and by the way I prefer to have the map made up of layers and not a digitized image.

   Thank you,

        Mazen

Hi,
   
   Thank you both for the explanation you provided, they were very helpfull.

agtumulder17,

    The maps you gave me are good, thank you. But I am looking for maps that have labels and that are accurate enough. I am willing to pay for the maps, but I can't find a seller that can sell Saudi Arabia maps. Names of the streets and landmarks on the map are very important to me.

   Thanks
