I'll look for a book I have civil war atlas where the author has 2 or 3 pages in the intro about the GIS software he used to make his own maps for the book which are pretty nice maps and the two people who help show him how to make maps. Once I find the book I'll tell you the name of the software and if you want can scan in a page for you to see a map.

I have tried some GIS tools and they have been overkill as well as not really geared to creating a map from a blank 'page'. At least not from what I was able to figure out from exploring the user interface for an hour or two. I.E. way more features then I need create some large scale contour maps with a few simple geological and geopolitical features. But if you think you have a somewhat simple tool that does not require me to spend weeks learning a whole bunch of GIS knowledge, I would love to hear about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:319925 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
