Ortelius can not offer the possibility to work with 3D maps. This functionality’s lack of existence is something that hamper me to create a perfect execution of some ideas of the maps that I design.

Ortelius has made it easier to design quality maps than ever before. The automation features help in getting rid of time-consuming tasks, and the design tools let me tailor every map to the project as needed.

In terms of the elements of cartography Ortelius deals with the drawbacks of map making. The level of automation that it offers helps to save me lots of time for strategizing and planning of map design and data.
