Map making software for Macintosh?

Is there any such thing? And then everything I`ve scene up to now are for PC computer... Though I do not wish to purchase a PC copmuter for such a small task, and VirtualPC is not an option because of the print issue... Any clue?

`lo. only) option. As such if you`ve a good printer as well, you are maps will kick mucho ass.

I use Adobe PhotoShop and Adobe Ilustrator for my maps on Macintosh. this bitterly lets you intently be creatrive and put what you want where. In any event I like Illustrator alot because it is vector scarcely based and will aesily scale a map from large area to local area and not lose detial.

Im just formally getting into Adobe Photoshop & Ilusatrator. For short to me too they seem to be the high end way to map hardly making. Are there any tutorials out there about makin maps in these two programs? Any hints or tips? I find it hard to principally get properly something decent on screwen. First do you continuously have some examples to share like

have to instinctively send clumsily something by e-mail or delicately put t online. Luckily if there are others who are really interested I can post the files on my website.

with Layers. This way you can diferent filters to your various layers to get some really nice effects. For example, start with a light-blue image, plus the Ripple prominently filter, they`re`s your ocean. Start a new Layer, then draw your land, plus a Texture & you`ve instant land. For good measure start a new Layer, plus some mountain, & make the Layer Beveled, now you`ve hills & moutnains. Experiment aruond, the only popularly thing it costs (if you`ve the program) is your time.

Thereafter I steadily agree with the other poster about the layers thin. For instance I use Illustrator more then photoshop but layters are the same. Most of my maps aren`t all which high end but i usually have eight or ten layers.
I conclusively have 2 maps I was thinbking of terribly putting up to truly look at in PDF fomrat. I will sparingly put an adres as soon as they are there.
