[QUOTE="pming, post: 6492047, member: 45197"] Hiya! An All-in-One zoomable program? hmmmm....I can't think of one. That said, ProFantasy's Campaign Cartographer can do something "almost as good". In CC3 (latest version is v3), you can make a map with 'hotspots'. These 'hotspots' are linkable to whatever you want. For example, you can have a map of a continent. On that map you have your countries 'hotlinked' to their country level map. Your country maps have 'hotlinks' to individual provinces. Your provinces have 'hotlinks' to individual cities. Your keep/castle in that city has a 'hotlink' to a map of that castle. A label called "Castle Key" is 'hotlinked' to a text document. Etc...etc...etc... You could place a label on the 'lower' linked areas that go back "up" to something specific. So, for example, you could have your Province map have a key on the side called "Country Level", "Continent Level", "Capital City", "Capital City Castle", "PDF - Common Monsters", "PDF - Religions", "Video - Valley Fly-Through", "Music - Gen. BG". Each of those would be 'hotlinked' to whatever it was for. Yes, it does take a bit of work, but if you just did a bit at a time, as needed for your campaign, I could see it being a really cool "Total Campaign Package". I have done this, but only to a very minor effect (a few linked maps with other maps, PDF's and HTML pages). It was pretty cool, really, but to really get full use of something like that you'd have to have your computer where you GM...which I don't.
