Hello there !

[hcno]

Hi everybody,

I'm a french guy in my twenties.
New to cartography, I'd like to create some maps to help me with a novel I'm working on.
I've got a few questions (about software) and there are no answers to be found on Google. This seems to be the best place to get help, so here I am !

Cheers.

Hi hcno and welcome to the Guild. Feel free to start a thread in the appropriate folder (General Discussion or How Do I? may be good choices). We've got quite a number of authors working on maps, so you're in good company. If you need help with anything, just ask.

Thank you ! I was intending to post in "Software Discussion", as my questions mainly concern differences between two software (features equivalent, simplicity of use...). Would it be better to post in one you linked ?

Yup, Welcome to the Mappiest Place on the Web

The Software Discussion forum is more for the nuts and bolts of the programs, but this thread might be of interest to you as it lists all sorts of software out there for mapping. I would suggest posting your questions in either of the forums mentioned by ChickPea. More likely to get responses there.
