Squirrel Point Cartographer

A Location is a point on the Map. Cartographer lets you create unlimited Locations and style them to help create quickly identifiable markers.

Locations can be edited, updating their name or waypoint. You can use a Location to begin a Path, creating intricate planned routes.

The main goal of any mapping app is routing your Path. Whether you're reviewing a past adventure or planning a new trip you will want to see your Path.

Paths can be styled and display distances along their length. You can view a Paths elevation profile or see all the waypoints collected on a trip.

Use Groups to help organize your data. Add all the Paths and Locations for an upcoming trip to a Group or collect all your bike rides from last month. Groups are flexible and can be used as you like to organize your map data.

Create as many groups as you need and place Locations and Paths into more than one group.

The heart of the app is the map. Several Map styles are available to create just the right backgrounds.

Various topographic and satellite styles can be used.

You can import GPX data from other apps and devices. Once you've created a great map you can export it to be used in the field.

Export all your map data or select just the items for an upcoming trip. Importing and Exporting is configurable and flexible. It's as simple as dragging and dropping a GPX file on the app!

Print a paper copy of your map via standard Mac printing controls or create a PDF to share.

Cartographer is a native Mac Application. It's not a web app with the limitations and performance issues associated with browser based tools.

Use the app the way you like. Access commands via menus, toolbars or mouse gestures. Drag a Location to add it to a Group. Select tools from popup menus accessed via mouse/trackpad. It's a Mac app. You already know how it works.

There are many tools available to work with your GPS data. We use them too. Most of these tools require creating an account and sharing your data with some corporation. Often this works just fine, until one day after you've amassed a lot of Map data, the company decides to raise their fees or worse yet goes out of business.

Cartographer keeps your data yours. Nothing is shared unless you elect to share. Your data is stored on your computer. No one can take it from you. We use the industry standard GPX file format for importing and exporting data so you can always get your data out of Cartographer and take it with you wherever you may need it.

Cartographer was created by people not some AI and we don't use your data to train any AI models.
