As previously announced in Sunsetting Cartographica Cartographica has reached end of support. We will keep the documentation and support sites running for a while. Customers with paid, perpetual licenses should have their license codes that will provide access even after our licensing servers go off line.

If you need the Live Maps feature, or the Geocoding feature, please work directly with Bing or Mapbox to get an active account for these services and you can place the API key into Cartographica for using those services. For those choosing to use …

Along with the Sunsetting of Cartographica I am announcing the immediate sunset of CartoMobile. Effective immediately, CartoMobile will no longer be available for sale on the AppStore. CartoMobile will still be available for use by users who purchased it previously, and I have no intention of removing it for re-download. Although I realize this will come as a disappointment to those of you who are currently using CartoMobile, I can no longer justify the resources necessary to keep it operational based on revenue. The situation is similar to Cartographica, although perhaps even more about the business model. In the case …

As many of you may be aware, we have used GDAL and PROJ for many years to handle file import and export as well as coordinate reference system management in Cartographica. As such, we include a private copy of those libraries in Cartographica.

Starting with 1.6, we are going to make those available to users with a valid Cartographica license. As with all command-line tools, there's quite …
