I typically have to create maps with city locations (both U.S. and
International). I admit to being geograpically challenged (yes, even
in the U.S.), and really need a software package that can create maps,
label cities/states/countries. We don't have a need for expensive
demographic slides. Basiclly an icon & label identifying one of the
above, perhaps even capability to shade state or country. Right now,
it's a tedious process of pulling a map into a slide, go to Google
Maps and manually place & label cities, states or countries on a map.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
