TERRA-MAPFORGE

Stitch your maps. Pin them to the earth.

The Windows companion for hunters who have imagery the map providers don’t — drone runs, scanned paper maps, PDFs, captures you’re licensed to use. MapForge stitches them into one seamless map, georeferences it with control points, and exports a GeoTIFF that drops straight into Terra-Stalk. Offline, on your GPS, over your country.

Coming soon for Windows — one-time licence

Three steps from pictures to map

No GIS degree required. If you can arrange photos, you can build a map.

1

Import & arrange

Drag your captures in — JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, even PDF pages. Each becomes a layer you can move, scale, rotate and fade until the overlaps line up.

2

Stitch & unify

Lock layers as they land. Unify colour-matches every capture to the ensemble — different days, different exposures, one seamless map instead of a patchwork quilt.

3

Georeference & export

Drop ground control points on features you know, sanity-check the scale, and export a GeoTIFF pinned to real coordinates — rotation preserved, ready for Terra-Stalk or any GIS.

Layer workspace

Every image is a layer — reorder, hide, lock, nudge by the pixel. Non-destructive from import to export.

Colour Unify

One click matches brightness and tone across all captures — to a chosen reference or balanced to the whole set.

Hunting enhance filters

Emphasis filters like Creek & Gully lift the darker greens of sheltered feed lines so the country reads at a glance.

Real georeferencing

Ground control points with coordinate and scale checks — so the map agrees with the GPS, not just with itself.

Straight into Terra-Stalk

Exports land in Terra-Stalk’s map importer — your private imagery under the same offline engine as everything else.

Yours, and only yours

Runs offline, and your imagery never leaves the machine. It goes online only when you ask it to fetch NZ or NSW aerial. Import what you’re authorised to use.

No subscription · No account · No uploads · Your imagery stays yours

MapForge supplies no imagery of its own. It processes imagery you supply, and on request fetches aerial imagery from openly licensed government sources (LINZ for New Zealand, NSW Spatial Services), licensed CC BY 4.0 with the attribution written into every export. Import and process imagery you are authorised to use — drone captures you flew, maps you own, data licensed to you. Windows 10/11.
