Looking for ways to help my online game

[DontEatRawHagis]

So my DND 5e game has been on Google Hangout for months but where we started as a group of 4 we are now 6(7 including me).

The Theater of the mind is not working any more as so many people on one Google Hangout is causing too much lag and one player in peticular doesn't do well without visuals.

Are there any apps or other tools I could use to help them visualize the map layout when combat starts?

Roll20.net gives visuals and has a Google Hangout plugin.

I hear good things about MapTools.

Roll20 is good ^_^
Also has a little mini forum fr your campaign, which can help with organizing stuff.

I will second third the roll20. I have been using it for about a year and it is a fairly strong app.
