What's New in Cartograph Maps 3

4.1.4

October 28, 2026

4.1.4 / 286 (26-10-2026) - Added: WMTS maps in other projections than Web Mercator, such as the Polish Geoportal (EPSG:2180), are converted on the device. - Added: WMS maps in the server's own coordinate system, such as the Estonian Land Board (EPSG:3301), are converted on the device. - Added: Tile maps in other projections: Yandex, national grids (TMS), and the Chinese services Gaode, Tencent and Baidu, which now line up with GPS positions. The projection is chosen from the server's address where it is known. - Improved: WMS maps are no longer requested at scales their layer isn't drawn at, and a server's error is shown once. - Added: The segments of a track can be sorted and renamed. - Added: An existing track can be added to another track as a new segment, at the end or between segments. - Fixed: WMTS maps with named zoom levels, or with key-value requests only, showed no tiles. - Fixed: WMS maps in Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) showed no or misplaced tiles. - Fixed: Merging tracks lost their turn instructions and waypoint folders. - Improved: Generated raster maps and atlases are saved much smaller. - Improved: "Save as track" for a track segment asks for the new track's name. - Fixed: Offline routing could choose a longer route than necessary, mostly with bike and foot profiles (also on the watches). - Fixed: Offline routing could leave a gap at a start, end or via point near a map data cell border. - Added: Mapsforge POI files in the new v4 and v5 formats; v5 category names in the app's language. - Improved: Offline routing profiles and the built-in map styles are updated. - Fixed: Some map labels could appear cut off or stretched. - Fixed: Memory leak with MapLibre maps.

The Best

This is what I use for hiking.
I haven’t found another iOS app this capable for using free vector maps.
It is actively maintained and is very reliable with many features.
It deserves more attention!!!!
Thanks for making this available.

Top App, absolut empfehlenswert!

Nachdem ich jahrelang OruxMaps und OrganicMaps genutzt habe, bin ich vor einem Jahr auf Cartograph umgestiegen. Und habe es nie bereut. Die App ist einfach super! Und sollte doch einmal etwas nicht passen, dann gibt es schnellen Support vom Entwickler.

Best offline vector map app

This is the way to use offline vector maps like OpenAndroMaps on iOS - brilliant app and very responsive developer

Never Get Lost

I’ve used Cartograph for 9 years. Back then, it was the only app that could work well offline using free, downloaded maps of the world.
I bought the latest, lifetime version without a second thought. I use it so heavily that the price wasn’t relevant.
When I plucked up courage to migrate all my data to this new version, I was delighted to find many new features keeping it up with, or ahead of, the competition.
My choice, of the many possible options, is to use free, worldwide “OpenAndroMaps” enhanced by the free “Tiramisu” style (I’m slightly colourblind.)
I use it for:
Hiking to a mountain summit or finding and following a route to the nearest toilet in a city or an urban park.
Recording a route, which I’m walking or cycling, to share or just to find my way back.
Navigating in a mist or whiteout.
Getting myself out of the mess that my motorhome's SatNav just got me into.
I’m not “into” the technical side of mapping systems but find Carto3 easy to use and customise. Experts will probably appreciate some features that I happily ignore!

Beste Wander App

Als ich vor ein paar Jahren zum iPhone wechselte suchte ich (etwas verzweifelt) eine brauchbare Alternative zu Locus Maps. Mit dieser App habe ich sie gefunden 😊👍🏻 wenn man sich reingefuchst hat ist die App sehr gut!
Riesengroßes Plus ist die Kommunikation mit dem Entwickler, der immer schnell antwortet und bei Problemen und Fragen aller Art jederzeit hilft. Ich bin sehr zufrieden und sage Danke!
