I looked at a program called Mapmaker, made in the UK (Maybe it's the same
as you describe here Walt?)

There is the free "Gratis software" and the pro version, the pro version
lets you use it unrestricted for 30 days. It would take me that time to get
to know it a little in-between other work.

Maybe I can find GIS maps with various counties, States and import them into
this program? I'm not afraid to buy a reasonable working program but I don't
want something to get completely complicated that keeps me at the computer
for hours on end..

This one at $1500 looks capable too, I have asked for an evaluation CD to
test it out..

I have to point out that I have never used GIS software so it's a complete
learning curve to me..

 

I can't find anything that will work with Filemaker but I don't see that a
problem as I can export my data into any format I choose.

So in the meantime, if anyone stumbles on a mapping software program that
gives me states and counties, user friendly I would appreciate it :-)

 

Thanks Walt and all, I'll keep looking..
