What is the antonym for cartographer?

Answer 1

The antonym for cartographer, someone who creates maps, would be someone who studies or works in a field that does not involve maps. One possible antonym could be "linguist," someone who studies languages. Another antonym could be "mathematician," someone who works with mathematical concepts and theories rather than geographic representations.

Answer 2

Well, darling, the antonym for cartographer is simply someone who doesn't make maps. So, I guess you could say the opposite of a cartographer is just your average directionally challenged Joe Schmoe who couldn't find their way out of a paper bag even with a GPS.

Answer 3

Antonyms are difficult, especially one for a career. As a cartographer is a person who makes maps. The opposite would have to be the opposite of a person, so an inorganic object like a rock; the opposite of makeing is destroying; a map is a representation of a physical location, so a physical location that represents an artificial object. So I would say the opposite of a carographer is a rock that destroys the giant donut holding Homer that was made to market The Simpsons movie. So if an asteroid comes to Earth and does just that, than we will have the opposite of a Cartographer.
