I often play in the hex-crawl style, but my zones are actually square-crawls, since I use excel for the maps. I does have its advantages, like easy to roll random coordinnates when a meteor falls, for instance.

But I would like to do proper hex maps. I never had a program that satisfied me. I found some mapping programs that allow you to draw and have an overlying hex-grid, but I would actually prefer something simpler, I dislike when an hex is cut by a coast in the middle and you dont know if that hex is water or plains. I just want to color the whole hex like I would do with excel, not draw on it. Since most people reading this thread most likely experimented with a few things, can someone suggest an hex program that doesnt require drawing a map on it? Coloring and writing on the hexes would be required, though, and icons for towns, dungeons etc would be a bonus.
