VI Photometric Maps of the OGLE-III Galactic Disk Fields

We present OGLE-III Photometric Maps of the Galactic Disk. They contain precise, calibrated VI photometry of about 9 million stars from 21 OGLE-III fields in the Galactic Disk observed regularly in the years 2001-2008 and covering over 7 square degrees in the sky. Precise astrometry of these objects is also provided. We discuss quality of the data and present a few color-magnitude diagrams of the observed fields.
