I'm just starting to GM a Shadowrun trial campaign of sorts, and for one of the first runs I want the players to have the option to do a bit of prep work including hacking or smooth talking to get a floorplan for their target.  My players tend to be fairly visually oriented coming from board game/video game backgrounds, long descriptions usually result in a lot of questions so I typically try to use visual aids.  I was wondering if someone knew of some good tools to make a fairly quick and dirty "floorplan" resembling something similar to this:

That way I can move a token around representing the party's location as if it's on their AR feeds (I use a hex/grid map for the fights if/when things get violent).

It's not a tool, but you can find some basic maps fairly cheap here:

Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

Can't see the pictures, but that tool might be something like what I'm looking for, I'll take a look, thank you.

Do these do anything for you? Mostly corridors and outdoor space, but they make sense for certain types of buildings (or anything from 4th Edition's Emergence).
