mapper
Draws land layouts
A mapper is someone or something that creates maps or establishes correspondences between sets of data.
In computing, a mapper transforms data from one format to another or links elements across systems: The object-relational mapper converts database records to code objects.
In gaming, particularly retro consoles, a mapper is circuitry that extends memory capabilities.
Someone who maps terrain, genomes, or processes is also a mapper: Urban mappers documented every abandoned building in the district.
