Steve Albers (http://laps.fsl.noaa.gov/albers/sos/sos.html) is doing a pretty good job of producing Cassini- and Voyager-based photomosaics that can be used as texture maps. The color matching isn't always perfect, but it's impressive given how quickly he incorporates new information. I've been using them in Celestia (http://sourceforge.net/projects/celestia/) to look at the landscapes from different angles and simulate Cassini and Huygens encounters.

Note, though, that these maps use a different longitude offset convention from Celestia, so to use them properly there you have to tweak them to put the prime meridian in the middle rather than at the edge.
