## What is Cartographer?

Cartographer helps environmental professionals and volunteers collect geospatial data and upload it to our cloud platform for analysis, publication, and collaboration.

Record surveys in the field, with or without a network connection, and upload them to our servers when you're back on wifi. Browse and share maps of your data from our web site, and export datasets to GIS and spreadsheet apps for analysis.

Please note that use of the app requires a Cartographer user account. Contact our support team or your project coordinator to find out more.
