Overview
Lithica Mapper is a professional digital geological cartography application designed specifically for Android tablets. Unlike Lithica Explorer (which focuses on general field data capture), Mapper is tailored for advanced map editing, allowing geologists to draw contacts, faults, and polygons using a precision stylus.
The app is now officially available on the Google Play Store, featuring a smart canvas that clearly distinguishes between stylus input (for drawing and digitizing) and finger input (for navigation, zooming, and panning), providing a smooth and natural drafting experience.
Key Features
- Precision Stylus Drawing: Distinguishes between pen tracing and finger gestures for navigation.
- Multiple Digitization Modes: Supports freehand drawing, vertex-by-vertex input, and mixed modes.
- Full QGIS Interoperability: Uses native GeoPackage (
.gpkg) storage, ensuring seamless data transfer to desktop GIS. - Advanced Spatial Capabilities: Full support for multiple EPSG/CRS definitions, map grids, and multi-layer rendering.
- 100% Offline & Local-First: Designed to work entirely without connectivity, protecting user privacy by not requiring accounts or cloud synchronization.
Current Status
Lithica Mapper is officially available on Google Play. It operates as a local-first, 100% offline tool, ensuring maximum privacy with no accounts or external cloud connection required.
