Waldseemüller was also interested in surveying and surveying instruments.
In 1508 he contributed a treatise on surveying and perspective to the fourth edition of Gregor Reisch’s Margarita Philosophica.
He included an illustration of a  forerunner to the theodolite, a surveying instrument he called the polimetrum.
In 1511 he published the Carta Itineraria Europae, a road map of Europe that showed important trade routes as well as pilgrim routes from central Europe to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
It was the first printed wall map of Europe.

In 1516 he produced another large-scale wall map of the world, the Carta Marina Navigatoria, printed in Strasbourg.
It was designed in the style of portolan charts and consisted of twelve printed sheets.

The Paris Green Globe (or Globe vert), has been attributed to Waldseemüller by experts at the Bibliotheque Nationale.
However, the attribution is not universally accepted.

Waldseemüller died without a will on 16 March 1520 in Saint-Dié, where he had served as a canon in the collegiate Church of Saint-Dié since 1514.
