I have a player who has purchased software from ProFantasy. She's enjoyed what she obtained. If you have any specific questions let me know and I can pass them along to her.

I have Campaign Cartographer 2, Dungeon Designer 2 and City Cartographer 2. The proficiency curve is kind of high, but once you get used to the interface (a lot of practice is needed) the results are very satisfying. If you also own the Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas, you can edit the FR maps using CC.

There is also a very active Yahoo! group supporting questions about Campaign Cartographer. I've found it a good investment.

I just use the campaign mapper hidden on the Core Rules 2.0 cd. :)

With the City Cartographer are you able to create ruined buildings?

How experienced are you at using CC2 and the City Designer?

Have you ever created a city with it?

I've tried, but wasn't satisfied with the results. Not the fault of the program, but with my inexperience with it. If you want to see some examples of what CC2 can do with cities, I can send you an example of the city of Heliogabalus, created using CC2, by the Northern Journey project. The results are outstanding.
