    Default Map maker?

    So, I need some simple map making program. I had a free one a while ago but I don’t remember what’s it called. I need it to map the interior of a large castle, and I would prefer some neat digital over my rough drawings. Any suggestions?

    It's expensive, but Campaign Cartographer is good.

    After a long time spent looking for a good mapping tool, I realised that an art program like Inkscape is sufficient. It doesn't have any special map-related tools, but I find it capable enough, as well as being free.

    I've got a program called AutoREALM that's pretty nifty for mapping. Basically, it's just a drawing program but with a library of map symbols and a tool for fractal lines that make for good coasts and rivers. Free, to boot.

    MapTool is rather cool for online play. If you have GIMP or Photoshop available, you could use this guide here: http://forums.rpghost.com/showthread.php?t=42788
