It's supposed to be very dragndrop easy to use. <a href="http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/">Link here</a> I haven’t done a lot of mapping myself, but I now work at a software company that builds one big web app, and the architecture team here uses Macs for the sole reason of OmniGraffle.

Well, I've also found sitemaps at times to be a bit daunting. In my personal experience I find it best to find a software package (any one) that works and try and stick to it without modifying the visual elements more than you have to. In essence, creating a template that contains all the visual objects you would ever use in a sitemap, and start from there every time. It limits the amount of work, but there are times when projects/clients demand more/less than what you template is set up to allow. Typically, I find that there will either be a call for a high level of detail (so as to communicate with team members and clients that are interested) or a low level of detail(For most clients who just simply want to know basic scope/interactivity of their site). ...
