Yeah, I've been trying the different programms out for quite some time now, actual more than a week, and up til now i have learned that its far more effectiv - and in my eyes realistic - if you draw up a sketch and then import it in gimp and inkspace. In addition it is far more fun! (damn i'm getting addicted to cartographing )

thanks for the answeres, I'll definitly try it out and I wont rest until my map is completed!!!
