You could try putting here : C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\palettes
If you go up one folder, you will find all the folders that gimp uses to hold the various elements that you can add to. I am sure there are other places to put stuff, but to the best of MY knowledge this is where things go.
not too sure if the path is the same with Mac OS though

Just like to thank Rob for his tutorial. I found this forum by accident while looking for map resources. Attached is my first attempt after a few hours of playing around. Sorry if I stole the compass from your tutorial but I wound up using the map in a game. If nothing else your ideas have converted me to GIMP from my old copy of Paintshop Pro. Thanks again.
I have a quick question about adding the adding in Rivers section. It says you can add in the rivers by drawing them in black with a fuzzy paint brush on the 'Grass' layers mask. It appears to work but all i see is the white colour of the Seashore layer underneath. Have a missed a step somewhere? Help much appreciated.
EDIT: Ignor the above! I forgot to colour the seashore layer blue.

Just wanted to add my voice to the din of applause for your tutorial Rob. Like many of the people who have responded, I knew nothing about GIMP or cartography before finding this site and your tutorial really helped walk me through the process of making a map in GIMP. In addition, I have found your GIMP scripts and plug-ins to be tremendously helpful as well. Unfortunately I found your "fractalize path" script after I had already done the rivers, but the "smooth path" script saved me a good bit of time on my roads. You have done much to make cartography and GIMP accessible to the rest of us. So here's to you Rob A the "Gimp-pimper"! Rep well deserved.
Cheers,

(Oh wait a minute, I guess I've already repped you recently. Gotta recognize a few other people before I can rep you again, but don't worry, I'll be back!).
