Hello to Everyone

I've been keeping an eye on this forum ever since I picked up a copy of IL-2 1946, but have never contributed in anyway which will make my request seem a bit selfish.

The people here seem to be well informed of in all things to do with aviation in WW2 so I hope you will be able to help me. I am doing some research on my Grandfathers flying career in the RNZAF. He completed 2 tours in the Solomon Islands, one with 3 Sqn and one with 9 Sqn RNZAF. He flew Hudson MkIII's in both. I am looking for a high quality downloadable map or chart of the Solomon Islands area but that extends 250Nm North and South.
I tried using google maps but its not really good enough.
I'm plotting the routes they flew on Recce Patrol, it is really interesting stuff . I purchased a map from a navagation specialist and with that i was able to plot the shorter routes but the longer ones go off map by a long way. Also it is too big to successfully scan for use on the computer.

Does anyone know of a site that can provide this for free or purchase?

Thanks
Hudson MkIII
