Map Question
Does anyone know a source for a overlay I can place on maps...or an addon for google maps to divide into 1sq mile blocks or hexagons or soemthing?
I LOVE google maps but hate that I cant divide it into sections like say they did with the MERC2000 and the campaign maps towards the end of the book. Anyone have any ideas?

Osmarender is a program to take OSM data and create a SVG map file. It can optionally include a 1km grid. It's not very easy to set up, unfortunately. http://maposmatic.org/ is a web service that creates maps of cities using OSM data (with a grid). Currently, it only covers the metropolitan France area. Some years ago, I wrote a macro for OpenOffice Draw that would draw a hex grid onto a page. I don't know if I've still got it, but it would be simple to create a macro to create a square grid. You could put a map image exported from OSM under the grid easily enough. Last edited by avantman42; 10-05-2009 at 08:48 AM. Reason: Edited for clarity

A GM in a PbP I play in produced a very nice map using photoshop, a satellite map image from Google Maps, and the following website. Don't ask me how he did it, being as I'm computer use challenged, but I'm sure a smart guy like you can figure it out. Thanks, NC!
He used mkhexgrid. The website can be found here: http://www.nomic.net/~uckelman/mkhexgrid/
