All really cool, guys. When I was still in elementary, middle, high school I would always kill time by drawing maps. Kinda put that hobby away once I got to college, but when I took Computer Mapping and Graphics in the spring of 11' (never actually got to finish the class due to the tornado) I kinda got back into it. Unfortunately, most of the stuff I had done got lost with my crappy flash drive that died one day. I think I'll get back into it, though.

Question, though. In the CMG class, we used Illustrator, so I'm familiar with it and have access to it on camps; however, once I get my Master's I won't have access to it. Is it worth it to go ahead and use Illustrator? Or should I use one of the previously mentioned programs like InkScape? I think I'm more interested in doing regional maps.
