The Cartographer tightly integrates with Google My Maps: Tools that allow users to customize Google Maps with markers. Now you can do all your travel or errand planning on the desktop with Google My Maps and the resulting maps can be effortlessly accessed and edited on the iPhone.
The Cartographer embraces collaboration and sharing, allowing you to share entire maps or individual markers with fellow travelers or friends and family back home.
You can also access your customised maps offline: Offline maps features let you avoid roaming charges and go places your mobile network doesn’t.
Not just for travellers! Make maps for marathons, band tour schedules, house hunting, or job hunting.

The Cartographer runs on the iPad and iPod Touch, but it is not specifically designed for these devices. On non-GPS devices, positioning is available only near some wifi spots. Positioning on the first generation iPhone is limited to cellular and wifi.
This application’s offline map uses third-party map data from OpenStreetMap, which is updated and improved daily by an active community. If you want to check the state of the map for your destination, please see openstreetmap.org

8 of 25It is well designed and useful
You might think this application would allow you to view Google maps offline. Nooooo, it only allows you to view openstreetmap offline, not Google maps. There is a world of difference between the two. Google maps shows a ton of detail for even exotic cities like Guilin or Taipei. With open maps you're lucky to get a few street names. For NY, Paris or LA maybe that's OK. For China, Hong Kong, or Vietnam it's useless. Google maps even has the name of small hole in the wall eating places in Chinese, and the outline of almost every building. Nowhere do they point this out. Compare this to oMaps, where they state this right up front.In addition I hate the burnt edges look. I want something clean and practical, not arty and hard to see. So in summary, if you have Internet connection this app allows you to do what you already can do with the free Maps app. Why bother?
It worked fine for a while but at some point it stopped working with my two step login I have enabled with my gmail account.
The Cartographer is an absolutely gorgeous app, and incredibly useful too. The one downside I have with it is that the "antique" look takes up too much screen space on the iPhone, but now there is a way to turn it off - making this app absolutely fabulous. On the iPad, this antique look taking up space would not be an issue, and this app would be able to really shine. Once the Universal version comes out, this app will really rock. Any update on the Universal version ETA???
Hands down, this is the most useful tool for bring a Google user's "My Maps" or "My Places" to the iPhone. In fact, it's nearly perfect. The problem? The old world theme. On a large monitor, I'd love it. On the iPhone… it just doesn't display well. If the makers of this app would make a sister app with simply used the same colors as Google Maps, then I'd easily award 5 stars… 6 if I could. It really is a good app… I just personally can't like it with its current, single theme.
:( Please update... Also: iPhone 5 support iPad version (as promised) K thanks bye
I use this app in conjunction with writing blog posts on locations, it would be VERY useful if like in the web interface of google maps, we could get a link for copy-pasting the embedded map HTML of a location in the map. Please?
Been traveling for two weeks now and this works great. Just update your google maps and download the city you want.
