I am working on a way to use Excel to create
LOS
maps. If someone can think of a more universal and accessible way, let me know.
We don't need complex graphic programs.

There may be simpler ways using dedicated gaming map-makers?

If you know of one that is royalty free, then lay it on us. It just seems like everyone has access to Excel and building a map is simply a matter of cutting and pasting.

I found an excel spreadsheet that someone had made that actually made random maps based on the number of tiles you told it you had of each type. Pretty amazing. I tidied it up and made some cosmetic additions but it was pretty nifty. [heads off to dig around in the archive] Ah, there it is. I could kind of tell what he was doing with the heavy stuff but not quite enough to start one from scratch. Wish I could remember the website.
There was also a third party program called Tilesystem that worked really well for making maps.

Once I put all the tiles in it went really quick and made nice maps. He released it as freeware as far as I can tell and still had the website up.
