Been working on one of the maps for Tim of Gothridge Manor Starter Adventure. Had to figure out how to do scorch marks with a greyscale map. I think the end result will look good.
Figure do a full screen shot of my two monitor setup to show what it looks like. The right side is a monitor mounted in landscape. I like doing that as I can have an entire page up when I am writing. The mapping program is CorelDRAW. Underneath is all my images from Profantasy Campaign Cartographer. While I don't use Campaign Cartographer much for my professional work I do use the images.
Overlaying the images are all my CorelDraw dockers including my all important symbol palette of dungeon details.
I really recommend a two monitor setup for serious work. Triple is even better if you can afford it and have the space.

First I've seen this map and it looks great. A lot of fine detail work. Excellent. And those scorch marks look spot on.
I got done with everything but the interior details just before my July 4th vacation and seeing your bulletin board with none of the maps checked made realize I forgot to finish it.
If you have an iPad, you can use that as a second (or third, etc) wireless display using the DisplayLink iPad Display app, or similar.

I haven't used it, but I've used their drivers for their USB display adapter technology, which works almost okay on OS X but is supposed to be much better on Windows. (Better acceleration support, etc).
I *have* used a similar bit of software on OS X that turns an iPad into an extra, wireless display, and it works surprisingly well.
Excellent!
