Android terrain map app + how to handle kingmaker maps?

[Roanark]

Hey all,

I'm curious if anyone has a good app to use for terrain maps that have fog of war capabilities. I'm not planning on using it for combat as we have a hex map to draw on, but I'd like something to use while exploring (specifically kingmaker). I've used picsart previously, but didn't know if there was anything better.

Also, wanted to know how most people handle(d) the kingmaker maps for the players. I'd like to give them a hard copy, but didn't know if that'd have a negative effect.

You could always use Google Drawings (Drive). That's what I use for my Play by Post games. It's free and has some pretty simple features to be able to edit the maps a bit, like covering things up.

Could you explain a bit more what you are looking for and what you want to use it for?

I found that my players enjoyed creating their own map. Gives them more ownership over the exploration. I would just show them a hex at a time on the iPad and they would draw it in themselves if I was worried they would get the placement of a river incorrect.

Apologies for the necro, but I'm looking for a decent mapping tool and rez'ing this thread seemed better than creating a very similar new one.

I have Hexographer, but honestly, while mostly it's far more powerful than I need, it also is missing some key things that are needed for Ultimate Campaign kingdom maps. Putting more than one upgrade in a hex is tough with it, and sharing terrain improvements with a settlement in the same hex looks completely stupid.

I'd strongly prefer something that can export a map easily to a Kindle (Android device), but the GM's laptop will work just as well. Any suggestions?
