: Software to make maps like on BBC website? I'm looking for a piece of software that can (semi)-automatically generate maps like BBC use to associate stories from around the world: Example: http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/image

I've worked at CBC for a couple of years and there we used a software called Curious and the same company seems to have it called Viz World now.

Well I am not sure why you would want to generate a map. It would be much easier to just edit an existing vector map. You can google search "country maps vector".

You can usually find maps that are eps files that you can edit in Illustrator and add whatever you want to them. Maps are usually separate objects so you can change colors for each country. If you do not have that then you can probably find jpgs and open in Photoshop or GIMP.
