Are there any programs which generates game grids, where you can add building and landscape outlines, as well as NPC and PC squares (or hexagons)
So no one?

I tried google D:
....also thanks
I sometimes use Pyromancer

But usually I use pyromancer to make a new map, then copy and paste it into Google Draw, which gives more flexibility and accessibility for a tabletop, if that's what you're looking for.
Good luck!

Are you looking for something to create a map to print and use with minis in person, or a virtual table top to access the grid and character positions online?
If you are looking for a VTT, roll20 is very good and free to use.
I have used roll20 as well. It's a good tool as long as you have stable Internet connection. I would suggest that you put your grid on your map, then turn off the grid on roll20, as the tools included to line up the d20 grid to your on-map grid are sort of difficult to work with.
As for actually creating the maps, I swear by Dundjinni; it's an easy-to-use software, not terribly expensive, and the community for it is stellar. I just finished mapping out Vorkstag and Grine's Chymic Works (for the Carrion Crown adventure path); if anyone would like a peek at it, let me know.
*raises hand up high* oooh! Peek please. My group just started Trial of the Beast and I'd love to see your map.
I have used Dundjinni as well, and was impressed. As I mostly run AP's I don't have many occassions to create from scratch, I just copy and past existing maps into Google Draw. However, Dundjinni seemed a very good map creation tool.
You guys are so awesome ^.^
