Geocart

What is Geocart?

Geocart is a native desktop cartography application for macOS that helps users create, edit, and reproject maps using many different map projections. It is designed for cartographers, researchers, students, publishers, and other users who need precise control over how geographic data is displayed. The app works with both vector and raster map content, making it useful for preparing base maps, converting imagery between projections, and building maps for print or illustration workflows. Geocart also supports large map work, multicore processing, and export options that fit professional design and publishing tasks. It is published by Mapthematics, with Daniel Strebe identified as one of its authors.

Key features

• Create maps using a large variety of named map projections
• Reproject raster map imagery between supported projections
• Work with both vector and raster map content in one workflow
• Import geographic data and map imagery for cartographic editing
• Export maps for design and publishing workflows, including PDF
• Use multicore processing for faster large-scale raster work

Safety overview

Status: Safe

Geocart is a legitimate specialty mapping application for professional and educational cartography work. Any access it has to your files is typically part of opening source maps, imagery, or saving exported results, which is normal for this kind of desktop app. Removing it will mainly affect your ability to open the app and use its related map resources, but it should not be required for macOS itself.

Recommendation: Keep Geocart if you use it for map projection, cartographic design, or geographic data preparation. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app and its related support files to free space, though you may lose saved settings and locally installed map resources.
