Vendor: Three Minds Software, LLC
Web Site: https://www.otherworldmapper.com/

Description:
OWM is a DRM Free, royalty free, one time purchase app. Currently Windows/OSX, with the Linux version being almost ready.
Drawing tools are designed around map elements such as land, rivers, bodies of water, regions and roads, as well as customizable settings for each.
Everything drawn with the map tools is stored as vectors, yet rasterized real-time. Objects can be scaled, rotated and modified from their vector outline, while their borders, textures, fills and effects are rasterized again (real time) after each change. You can go as deep as modifying individual points.
Each map element is a separate layer so that after it is drawn or placed, it can be moved and manipulated.
You can import real GIS data and use it as a base for your map
Support for various grid overlays
Support for world projections as well as transforming existing maps between projections
Ability to fully customize each item properties (color, line widths, texture opacity, etc), so you are not limited to the preset/themes we provide.
Ability to import your own artwork.

Wow, I am happy that I discovered it today by your post. Very useful! So difficult to find a good one for MAC OSX. At work we use something similar to it, Aspectum, for maps mostly, use it daily. If you are interested, as far as I remember there is a free trial option.

Came to add Wonderdraft but note it's already been added a couple of pages back.

Current version has more features and seems quite reliable and relatively inexpensive.

Played with the Demo a little bit, went ahead and purchased. It's nice to see something done cross platform.

I notice the download is limited to a year, how do you plan to handle updates past that point?
