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.
