I just posted a scenario with a base map I generated using the program. I'm still learning how to use this program, as well as interpret the heights generated with terrain features from satellite views. Counting hexes is difficult, and sometimes perplexing in establishing roadways and buildings.

But, it's a far better system than trying to do terrain manually and cuts the time involved quite a bit.

I chose a location in the Australian outback (Cunnamulla)due to the limited waterways. I'm working on another location on the east coast, but when there's waterways, it involves a lot of hex number counting to get it right (which I haven't yet).

I don't have a photo of the area I used but I am attaching a copy of the map. Google earth Cunnamulla Austrailia (Queensland) and move east of the town (east of the race track). You'll see the area that's depicted on the WINMBT map.
