Softpedia “If you like drawing maps, or you do this at the office on a regular basis, be sure to use or just give Ortelius a try. You may find that even the most difficult maps can be created in a record time with no headaches… I truly recommend this program. Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed.” Editor’s Rating = 4-stars
Ortelius makes map work a joy
And that freehand tool is quite amazing! I’d recommend the program to anyone – the initial learning curve is short and you can produce something that looks pretty professional very quickly.
Well done and a big THANK YOU.
I must say you guys have out done yourself…
Ortelius [2] as this application is not only the one of its kind, but you guys collective have some of the best customer support I have seen. If that alone isn’t worth the price, I don’t know what it is. Thank you again!
Keep up the great project. I’m a big fan.
I have both of your products and love them.
Really looking forward to using Ortelius 2.
Ortelius made my final project not only doable but enjoyable
This program single-handedly saved my skin this past semester. I was taking a course on History & Cartography, and… I found it easy to use but also felt it brought out the creativity. Onward, onward, onward!
Ortelius is the best program ever
So after 2 weeks of struggling in Illustrator… Wow. It only took me a few hours to complete what has (unsuccessfully) taken me weeks to accomplish. Well worth it!!!
2nd Purchase
Now using it for engineering flow drawings at work!
2011 Swipe Design Award: BEST MAC APPLICATION!
The Kleper Report on Digital Publishing “For its features, ease of use, and reasonable price, Ortelius is a best-in-class selection.”
Apple Staff Pick!
About This Particular Macintosh “Mapdiva has a winner on its hand… There are some Mac map-making programs out there, but none in the price range or that possess the features found in Ortelius… If you have a mapping need, Ortelius makes an excellent choice.” ATPM Rating = Excellent
I love Ortelius…
It is running better than I thought a mapping program like this would. It is easy to use and very helpful to my military map projects.
p.s. Love the product by the way ;-)
This is the best cartography tool I have seen in a long time…
…and look forward to its evolution.
Cooler than you realize
I’ve tried many times to use [other] vector images… and they are just too much to buy, and too much to work with. The fact that you allow the user to draw roads and more, is cooler than you realize!
Ortelius is a brilliant application
Before all else, Ortelius is a brilliant application, especially for OS X.
graphics.com “Mapdiva follows in their footsteps by keeping Ortelius simple, and the price low, but wisely differentiates it with an emphasis on map creation.”
Graphic Design & Publishing Center “While Ortelius is specifically for map illustions, we can see that this vector-based drawing and cartographic design program has a world of possibilities for many other applications as well… for a 3rd the cost of Illustrator!”
Some of the features I love
Some of the features I love including smart intersections and linear selection. These are many things I struggle with Adobe Illustrator on a daily basis.
Thanks for bringing a decent cartography program to the Mac!
All I can say is WOW!!!
The enhanced learning-demo templates are fantastic. I got to playing with the features… and I had been “playing” for almost 4 hours. Once again thank you for this great enhancement.
Thanks for developing a very exciting new software.
Great product!
I wish you and your company the best, and hope to see Ortelius mature into a ripe and delicious truffle of gourmet software.
