We are proud to present a new contributor to the Cartographer’s Annual: Ute Gundacker, longtime community member and prolific sharer of wonderful maps with a modern or future theme to them. One of her latest endeavors, a scientific underwater site, caught our eye and Ute agreed to make it a proper style for the Annual. The style is based on the Modern Blueprints style from Symbol Set 3 – Modern but goes beyond it by using bitmap fills and symbols and adding effects and decorations that make the maps into proper thematic handouts. We hope you enjoy the style!

The February issue is now available for all subscribers from their registration page. If you haven’t subscribed to the Annual 2026 yet, you can do so here.

The full setup of the Cartographer’s Annual Vol 19 (2025) is now available, meaning you can install it by downloading and running one file from your registration page.

There is no need to run this setup, if you followed the Annual as the monthly issues were released, but if you skipped some or are only now purchasing the Annual Vol 5, you only need to use this one download.

The July issue of the Cartographer’s Annual 2025 is now available, and with it the work of a new map-maker among our contributors. We found Prajyot Kumar‘s map work very interesting and asked him to create a style for CC3+. Here is the result, a vibrant and colorful overland style, well-suited to mapping individual regions of a fantasy world – hence the name.

The May issue of the Cartographer’s Annual 2025 is now available. This month brings you a new overland style, by yours truly. I’ve been inspired to sit down with pencil and inks, create some hand-drawn symbols and then create a fresh new style from them. In addition to giving you a nice and easy-to-use overland style, it will allow me to show the whole process of creating and using your own artwork in CC3+. I will also be able to easily expand the style with additional symbols in the future.
