I usually just use paper, but I'd prefer having a map on my computer, especially if I can add notes to it. All the good software I've found seems to cost a lot of money.

Paint.

Also my cat is freaking out thanks to that picture.

Really? What did your cat do?

Inkarnate.
Not as flexible or powerful as photoshop and the likes, but much, MUCH easier to use. Orders of magnitude earlier.

Hexographer, i gm gurps and i like hex because its easy to calculare area and distance of shit.

In all honesty I use dwarf fortress, makes semi realistic world map, history, civilizations, plus you can exported so you can print it, and tweak variables to suit your needs.

yup, I also use paper

I prefer to run in-person games because I don't like the amount of labor that goes into creating digital maps for roll20 or whatever.

They're great tools and all, but I like my large wet-erase battlemat where I can quickly draw things out, use dice or other objects to indicate "stuff" (like throw a handful of dice over the table to decide where there is tree cover), and occasionally make basic 3d paper models for some things. Once in a very rare while, such as for the climax of a campaign, I might put a lot of work into some 3d terrain. I like to rely on description/pictures/music, and use the battlemat as little as possible.

I know that rambled a bit off of the topic but it seemed relevant.

Hexographer, Dungeonographer, and AutoRealm.
