    Photoshop is very powerful image editing software that can be used to make (really incredible) maps, but it isn't mapping software, per se.
    Looking for battlemap creation software that can be used to create gorgeous print-resolution output on Windows or Mac OS?
    Give MapForge a try.

    So are many others present in this list. A lot of people use it, so I am surprised that it is not there.

    Let's have a look on inkarnate.com
    ... very lite, but sufficient for a quick geographical map ...

    I'm shamelessly doing the promotion of the tool I made : http://hextml.playest.net

    As the link suggests it's called Hextml, you can download maps, convert them to pictures, make submaps, draw fog of war, import custom textures and many other things!

    Someone compiled a pretty extensive list of mapping software on the D&D 5th Edition Facebook group. I suspect you have to be a member of the group to see it, but here's the link, anyway.

    Don't know is tilemap mappy was mentioned. I've thought of buying proversion for $11 but will have to contact as the site dates back to 2004. I have the free version and used it for mapping ultima iii on the gameboy.

    I just ran into this, so I don't yet know how easy/hard it is to learn or edit, but I saw an example world (not mine) and figured that it'd probably be right up someone's alley (I've never found a need for a globe map in my RPG pursuits, but have often imagined and sometimes depicted them for artistic reasons):

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned tectonics.js yet. Its not exactly a mapping program, its semi-hex-based and generates elevations and tectonic plates and things and then simulates their movement, etc. The blog explains it better than I can. You can export various views like plates, bedrock, elevation, etc. Its free and its a very interesting program I've been keeping an eye on.

    Bump, now that MapForge has been released (months ago).

    Would it be possible to add my MapForge application to the list? It’s not an already-shipping product, but it’s been successfully funded since day 1 of the Kickstarter campaign, so it’s definitely coming to market, probably near the end of July 2017.

    Here’s the info for the list, in case the answer is yes.


    Title: MapForge
    Vendor: Battlegrounds Games
    Web Site: http://www.mapforge-software.com/
    Type: Raster & Tile Based
    Focus: 2D top-down mapping, generally at the tactical battlemap scale
    Platform: Windows 7-10 & Mac OS X (no native Linux support, but should be usable with WINE or Virtualbox)
    Price: $30 ($25-27 during the current Kickstarter campaign)
    Description:
    Locally-installed application intended for creating great-looking maps quickly and easily, either from scratch, with the help of a random generator, and/or using professional content Add-Ons. Offers support for layers, textures, and bitmap filter effects (e.g. drop-shadows, glows, blur, color/contrast/brightness adjustments, and bevel effects); Ten free content Add-Ons provide a great “Starter Kit”, usable without a license; huge selection of additional professional content Add-Ons for sale, some of which can be used for published or commercial map projects; supports print resolution as well as VTT resolution; artistic talent and technical skills not required.
    Examples:
    Dungeon, Tropical Island, more coming soon

    Also, if you scroll down a little bit on my website's Links page, there is a decent list of other map-making software that you might wish to add to your list.
