[QUOTE="Lwaxy, post: 5811146, member: 53286"] No, such a program does not really exist for real quality maps. Either you have to learn a lot of graphics stuff or you need to learn to work with non-intuitive programs - or both. I use CC3, but it is not intuitive and frustrates me a lot. I can do cool things on it, yes, it has grid options, symbols (which you can also create yourself) and easily creates jpgs out of the maps. It definitely can't do other things, like zoom easily (big big issue for me and some other users). If you need/want a lot of cool maps, make yourself a library. There are so many maps out there - I have collected so many I really need to do very little mapping on my own. A good place to start is the [URL="http://www.cartographersguild.com/"]Cartographer's Guild[/URL]. Most map creators there will allow you to use the maps for private use offline, some even give permission to use them online if you don't forget to credit them and tell them where you play. There are also people to help you with specific maps you may need. [/QUOTE]
