I think you can use Adobe Freehand to create it.

found this on a quick google search http://www.insc.anl.gov/pwrmaps/map/europe.php
plus a bunch of sites selling map files.

best bet for making a simple map is to take a detailed map and trace it with the vector pencil (freeform pen in Photoshop).

I use Adobe Illustrator to produce maps and all other vector art (including splines for 3d apps).
When I produce maps for clients I usually have to follow their art style guide and Illustrator is both a good app to do this work in as well as the fact that Illustrator .ai or .eps files are industry standard, globally accepted formats, in the CMYK biz anyway.

You can Google up a hi-res map of Europe and trace it out in a vector app, or PS, quickly in 20 min. to1 hour.

I don't know how detailed of a map you need but I know for certain there are "Europe" photoshop shapes on the adobe exchange.


I have used them several times and undless you need streets etc - these are great...
