    OpenOrienteering Mapper[0,1] is an orienteering mapmaking program which provides a free alternative to the existing proprietary solution (aka OCAD, which was de-facto standard mapping software for IOF Orienteering Sport since 1990s[3]). Its main advantages compared to it are:

    - Open Source: The program is completely free, every programmer can improve it.

    - Cross-platform: The program works on Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.

    OpenOrienteering project celebrated its 10th Anniversary since initiated by Thomas 'puzzlepaint on September 25, 2011.

    On January 1, 2012 OpenOrienteering Mapper app development was announced.

    Actually OpenOrienteering Mapper (Mapper for short) is on the way to 1.0 release.[2]

  • Max zoom levels?

    Yes, I'm using the Flutter MapBox GL project (that uses the native implementation, which is mostly written in C++). I'm using vector tiles, and it's getting down to 1.35cm/pixel for iOS and .12cm/pixel for Android at my latitude; I believe this is level 22 for iOS and 25.5 for Android.

    Mapbox has a c++ sdk as well as a GL renderer

    But vector tiles is indeed the way to go, but it's also much more complicated. Everyone that has worked on Maps so far has done it either as a SoC / Outreachy student or on weekends and evenings. Look at https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native if you want to get a feel for the complexity of a client side implementation of rendering vector tiles.
