I'm using an intuos 5 tablet and photoshop. When I go to make the lines for the houses, I'm holding down the shift button. That forces the line to be straight. I do the whole house this way, then use the marquee tool to select the building and position it where I want it on the map.

I almost started using Illustrator, but decided against it because I do want some variation in the thickness of the line that I get with the pen pressure from the brushes. Can't quite get the same organic effect from using AI's pen tool.
