Too bad that no one took the time to answer your simple question. Maps are easy to find. First off, every "papeleria" ("paper supply store"--where you purchase office supplies, paper, pens, etc.) and "librerias" (bookstores)---and I recommend the biggest in the country--Libri Mundi--flagship store on Juan Leon Mera and Bacquedano in Quito (In Gringolandia). Also if you go to the Town Hall (Municipio) in any area, they may give or sell you maps. Also if you need specialty maps (geographical, etc.), the "cartography" section of the Ecuadorian Military can provide these. Also the South American Explorer's Club has maps for sale. I wish I could recommend Google maps but the last 5-6 times we have used them they have been incorrect. Also, try to download maps. Guidebooks have them. There used to be Government Tourist Agencies here who gave them out, some towns have these offices, go and ask. Good luck. Maps are easy to find.
