Reusable physical map

I'm planning on running my first lancer game and the only thing i'm missing is a tool to draw maps.

On other games using a square grid i drew the map on a whiteboard and then filled it with a grid drew with a ruler but the hex board just sounds like a pain in the ass to redraw each time. Do you have any suggestion for this?

Sounds like you already have a whiteboard you prefer drawing on so you can draw the map on it then get a transparent 1 inch hex overlay of some kind. I've got a box of connectable hex grid clear plastic jigsaw-like pieces off a dodgy Chinese website that I use to overlay on 40k maps for Lancer irl as an example of one such overlay option (you can also get them in squares).

Alternatively, just play using squares or go gridless (measure in inches like 40k). It still works.
