Hi,

I’ve found TileMill be good for this kind of purpose, as well as easy to use.

I know R has various options and can get geo-data from GIS, but that seems like a steep learning curve. Google mapmaker and other online services that I have found do not provide enough visualization options (you get roads or satellite data, but no district boundaries in India, for example, and can't fill or highlight areas).
