At some point in their career, every designer will be asked to create some kind of map. Graphic designers will find Ortelius makes map creation quick and easy compared with their traditional graphics tools.

Authors and publishers create very high quality map graphics for books and publication.
Researchers and students easily map their field sites, historical events, and areas of interest for reports and publication. Ortelius focuses on the presentation layer for data visualization.
Planners, architects, realtors, etcetera. find Ortelius complimentary to their GIS for finishing professional quality maps, making for effective presentation to public and clients.
Museums create attractive, informative maps for public display.
Schools find it a friendly entry into the mapping sciences, where software tools for secondary education Social Sciences is sorely lacking.
Geographers and “GISers” who are seeking a creative outlet away from “strictly GIS” find Ortelius a refreshing compliment to their traditional tools.
People who make maps often do so out of their love of maps. The relatively recent mass exposure to digital maps has laid the groundwork for a “cartographic explosion” in which people increasingly want to personalize their maps. Lay cartographers and “casual users” find Ortelius opens up the possibility to create their own maps like never before. At the most local of scales, users can even create scaled floor plans and landscape plans.
