Software for Mac that is not QGIS

[Dedalus23]

Hello,

I am recently getting back into mapping. I know have a Mac computer and tried using QGIS but I didn’t like it. Is there a better option. I am willing to pay money for the software.

What kind of mapping are you looking to do?

Other World Mapper has a Mac version. Inkarnate is in browser so it'll work too. Not sure about Wonderdraft. A lot of us use photo editing programs like Adobe Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Affinity Photo. Or vector programs like Illustrator and Affinity Design.

I use qgis for geometry edits, checking over my data, and making maos. Use earth engine and/or python for everything else. suppose you need to run arc pro Use boot camp or parallels desktop. Probably boot camp if you have an older MacBook. Qgis will run just fine; I've used it on a Chromebook before. There are good macs out there for reasonable prices. And the new m1 macs have faster single-core performance in some apps than even a ryzen 9 5950x? Which matters a lot for qgis. Or you can contact salvagedata.com for help with this situation

That's really the key question.

If you want to do tactical-scale top-down maps, or hex tile maps, or even isometric maps, try MapForge, which now has a WINE version for Macs running Catalina OS or greater.
