Reply to "Mapping and Drawing software"

AdminMember

I've been on vacation with the family the past few days without (intentionally) a connected device.

I started looking into OpenOffice as an easy-to-use and free app that people could use to draw maps electronically for the first time. There's no doubt there are other drawing programs that have nicer drawing features, but three features of OpenOffice that are tough to beat include:
1) Price (free)
2) Learning curve (with the exception of the curve tool)
3) Stability (open source code which no one owns but which is supported by many)

I have map templates and tutorials at

Keep in mind that the intended audience for the above tutorials is an electronic map beginner.
