[QUOTE="SiderisAnon, post: 4728109, member: 44949"] I use Campaign Cartographer 3. I have an architectual background, so the CAD interface makes sense to me. My recomendation to anyone thinking of getting a map maping program is to remember that map making is an art and a skill, and that both take time, patience, and lots of practice. No matter what they say, you will not be able to turn out professional looking maps in your first five minutes, or even in your first five hours. You have to take the time to learn how to use the program, probably while creating numerous maps to hone your skills. If you take your first attempts and compare it to the glorious things you can find on the web, you will end up disappoined in whatever program you picked. The programs are not magic, unfortunately. Now, the programmer that invents a mapping program that can just read your mind and produce art, that person will be both rich and worshipped. [/QUOTE]
