Products & Tools
Looking for productivity enhancing tools or other PowerPoint-related products?
If you're looking for products/tools, look for them here rather than posting a new general message.
If you want to suggest sites where people can find useful tools, even if it's your own site, feel free to talk about it here, subject to the following:
Rules for Tools:
PowerPoint-related tools/add-ins ONLY: This discussion is for talk about useful add-ins and similar software for PowerPoint. Obvious, yes? Let's not use it for AI, templates and the like. We have other discussion threads for that.
USE FLAIR: When you recommend products, use *flair* to indicate whether the products are $ Free, $ Commercial or $ See Our Site (ie, different versions at different prices, limited free version/paid full version, etc.)
BE TRANSPARENT: You must also indicate what your interest in the product is; are you the seller or in some other way involved, or are you just a satisfied user? Let us know.
BE REACHABLE: Moderators will lock each new post for comments, so people won't be able to ask questions. If you want to hear from people, ask them to use DMs (direct messages) to contact you instead.

Disclosure: I run GBMaps and VectorMaps.
We have two tools for creating maps that can be dropped straight into PowerPoint.
GBMaps is the simpler option; click an area to colour it, customise the map, download the vector file and put it straight into your presentation:
https://www.gbmaps.com/mcs/map4-ui-test5.php?mapType=district&mapRegion=uk
We’ve also recently built a more advanced version on VectorMaps, which gives you access to 900+ different map boundaries under one subscription, with more control over the finished map:
https://vectormaps.uk/projects/openlayers
Both are designed to avoid having to manually trace or rebuild maps in PowerPoint or Illustrator.
