Full size: 2048x1448 2.7MB JPEG
Thumbnails: 300x212 36KB JPEG
I shrunk the full sized images to 1024x724 and 512x362 JPEGs and they 308KB and 72KB respectively. I wouldn't call 1024x724 low resolution on an e-ink reader.

The ones that are in the ebook are 502x714, almost exactly half of your already shrunk files, and bad enough that several of the location names are really hard to make out. Edit: And those are the ones that take up 300kB of space.
Like I said - having hi-res maps on a tablet beside the ereader is ideal for me, more important really than having hi-res maps in the ebook file as it is so much work going back and forth between map and text.
In fact - that would be my number 1 potential new feature in Kobo FW: a hotkey to go directly to a specific predetermined page (map page for instance, or dramatis personae - or cover art for that matter) without having to faff about with bookmarks and going through the unwieldy "annotations" menu - and then one to go back where you came from.
