or just buy one more professional program at a lower price than the cost of the real tiles offered.

I understand that such a board can be built step by step during the adventure, and this is fun, but I still think the GM can just limit to tell to the players what they see during exploration (checking his private map), and let the group to map the terrain by themselves

Well, I’m in the market for products like this because I’ve done enough printing things out in 8.5 by 11 inch rectangles, mounting them on some sort of backing, and then covering them with a dry-erase surface. Even if it is easy, it is time consuming.

Or am I missing some way to make this quicker?
