If you create your own maps digitally, what do you use as map-making software?
Personally, I am fond of Inkscape, as it gives me maximum flexibility and the vector-based approach is great for scaling and rotating things.

Depends on the Map I want to make and how much time I have.
Worldographer for hexmaps, I’ve tried other programs like Hex Kit but honestly I like Hexographer the most because it is the easiest to read and fastest to get something put together in.
Dungeondraft for Dungeons/Battlemaps, there’s some issues I have with it with how it handles several assets but overall it’s solid and just your assets straight out of the gate are solid.
Wonderdraft for ‘Useless Maps’, this one is for world maps but for the most part I use it to make a map that players might find on a goblin that details their plans to attack a village or a city map in an old style so it is used more to convey an atmosphere.
Honorable mention to dungeonscrawl which I use to just sketch out a dungeon real quick has enough functionality for me.
