What got you into cartography?
For me, like I guess many others, it was the maps in the Lord of the Rings. I got the third book first (the others were delayed) and I vividly remember puring over the map trying to find the locations mentioned in the "what happened so far" section, but couldn't. Of course, because the book in the Return of the King only shows Rohan, Gondor and Mordor.
Because I loved the much higher detail of that map, I went ahead and expanded it myself to cover all the area of the big map. I think I ended up with something like 5x5 sheets of paper. Those hung over my bed for the longest time.

Live Mapping: Hex Maps
And here's the session's map again. Nothing spectacular, but perhaps useful if someone wants to look things up.

Maps for "Wizard Kings" by Columbia Games
I've been asked about this (ooold) little tool in CC3+ and done a quick update for it to be useable in CC3+. Download here and unzip over your program data directory.
It's still a pre-defined overland template, using the Mercator Overland style.

Cthulhu City Export Issue
I strongly suspect that the added picture frame distorts the height to width ratio and the export then crops any white space resulting in the image size you see. Try turning off "Crop image to aspect ratio" in the export settings and you'll probably see some white space in the export.
You can always post the map here, so we can take a look, or submit a tech support request.

Live Mapping: Satellite Streets
I've fixed the wrong shading on the house symbols of the style. You can re-download it from your registration page and reinstall to fix it.
And here's the sample map I created last night.

Live Mapping: Villages of Schley *CANCELLED*
@boffo Yes, I'll do the session another time, don't worry.
I managed to blow some coffee grains into my eyes (don't ask!), which was quite unpleasant (don't try this at home), but it's better now and I can see again. :D Thanks for the concern!
