Hi

I'm looking for a software program that would help me draw diagrams
like the London Tube Map. Any Ideas?

I use a general-use illustration package called Inkscape (http://
www.inkscape.org/), though I'd be interested in anything that makes
the process of drawing this style of map more automated. It's a right
pain when you find a problem and have to re-align huge great chunks
(like Station names not fitting in the spaces you've left for them and
thus requiring you to increase the gap, which then messes up your
interchanges and diagonals.
