Starting with Cartograph Maps 3.9.1 the license is linked to the Cartograph account (in the app’s main menu “User accounts”) and shared between all devices. So a single purchase of the full version or of a subscription activates the app on all platforms. For example, if you buy the full version here, then it will also activate the full version on the mobile apps.

Change log (most recent updates)

4.0.6 / 274 (01-09-2026)
- Fixed: Dialog content of some dialogs only visible after manually resizing.

4.0.5 / 272 (28-08-2026)
- Fixed: Dialog content clipping.
- Fixed: Dialogs did not respect Android edge-to-edge status and control bars.
- Fixed: The "App text size" setting on the watch did not size the smaller texts on the Cartograph Link, route planning and map banner screens - they stayed small whatever the setting was (WatchOS).
- Fixed: BRouter route planning failed with "no route found" when the selected routing profile file was missing, for example after deleting the BRouter folder or when the profile came from another device - the profile button in the route planning bar was empty and nothing recovered it. An installed profile is now selected automatically.
- Fixed: When the offline routing data had to be downloaded first, declining or cancelling the download was treated as if it had succeeded: the route was calculated without the data and reported "no route found". An interrupted download also left an incomplete segment file behind that was never downloaded again. The app now says which files are missing and asks whether to calculate anyway.

4.0.4 / 271 (21-08-2026)
- New: It is now possible to create OAM-compatible Mapsforge maps within seconds with my new Mapsforge map creation website tool: https://www.cartograph.eu/mapcreator/
- Added: Mapsforge maps can now be created along a track ("Create Mapsforge map" in the track menu).
- Added: Overlay dashboards now stay loaded after restarting the app (fullscreen dashboards still close, as before).
- Added: "Show built-in dashboards" switch in the dashboards list ("More" menu), for hiding the dashboards that ship with the app.
- Fixed: Buttons, checkboxes and labels inside dialogs and drawers were drawn in the wrong theme and could be invisible (white on white in the light theme), most noticeably with the "Universal" UI style.
- Added: "App text size" setting on the watch, for the app's own text: the stats bar while recording, the activity metrics and the track and route info screens. The existing "Text size" under "Map detail" is now called "Map text size" (WatchOS).
- Added: Coordinate format setting on the watch: decimal degrees, degrees and minutes, degrees/minutes/seconds, UTM and MGRS (WatchOS).
- Fixed: Recording an activity stopped, and was silently saved, when opening the map list or switching to another map. Recording now continues, and the main menu shows it with a stop button (WatchOS).
- Fixed: Viewing a bookmark, track or route opened the first map in the list instead of the one that was loaded, so the map behind them appeared empty - and the map selection was silently changed too (WatchOS).
- Fixed: Zooming far into a raster map (MBTiles, Locus) moved the map off centre: the position marker disappeared, "center on position" did not bring it back, and a new bookmark landed far from the point that was tapped (WatchOS).
- Fixed: "Center on position" was switched off when loading another map (WatchOS).

4.0.3 / 270 (18-08-2026)
- Added: "Send to watch" for maps generated with the "Custom Mapsforge tool".
- Added: Option for exporting tracks to Apple Health (iOS) and Google Health (Android).
- Added: Option for importing tracks from Apple Health (iOS) and Google Health (Android).
- Added: Support for offline BRouter routing directly on smart watches.
- Added: Option to the set the control's fade out time on watches.
- Added: Option to make popups opaque for better readability (WatchOS).
- Added: More colors to the color selection dialogs on the watches.
- Fixed: The offline slope map overlay has been completely rewritten (bug fixes and performance improvements).
- Fixed: VTM rendering bugs.
- Fixed: Offline hillshader bugs.
- Fixed: Android back button not working anymore on Android 16+.
- Fixed: Random crashes while recording, caused by a GPS position arriving at the same moment as another part of the app read the last known position (also crashed on exit while saving settings).
