I write one but its not a free one (see my sig). But there are many with various different amounts of features and capabilities - some better than others of course.I cant comment for anyone else's application but I would say that I can map faster with it than drawing by hand. Its certainly neater and you can place pre-made icons onto the map. You can group icons together so you can dump down a whole village in a few clicks etc.Here are a few screen shots and movies to look over :-<a href="http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/viewingdale.pl?category=screen_shots" target="_blank">http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/viewingdale.pl?category=screen_shots</a>The idea of any graphical VTT is to be able to move characters and monsters around on the map over the internet. Some allow you to draw the map as part of the application and others expect a map image to be imported. Some have the ability to do 'Fog of war' where you reveal bits of a previously drawn map to players as they explore.We had a convention of VTTs a short while back and here is a chart showing some of them and their features.<a href="http://iconvention.org/vgtcomp.php" target="_blank">http://iconvention.org/vgtcomp.php</a>Run through each of the web sites from the vendors and check out all of their features and costs by clicking on the icons at the top.</blockquote>
