How to Access Purchased Maps

Sometimes people have difficulty locating the correct downloadable map that they have purchased in the Digital Map Store.

  • You should be using the app, not your web browser. Some web pages or emails might a link to download your maps, but they are not the most reliable way, as they depend on browser settings, etc.
  • In the app, open the Map List, and use the "My Online Maps" and "Maps Everywhere" buttons.  
  • If it says you don't have any Activation Rights, the most likely reason is that you have selected the wrong map. You need to delete the map, then use "My Online Maps" and try again.

Using Memory-Map for All

  • The new Memory-Map for All app is recommended for all new users (except for at-home planning and printing on the PC, where you should use Memory-Map Navigator - see the App Comparison)
  • Tap the maps button in the lower left of the map screen.
  • Tap "My Online Maps" and "Everywhere" at the top. Sign-in if prompted.
  • You may have to tap the triangles on the left to expand categories.
  • Note that some older maps may be shown under Old Editions.

Optional: Some maps are downloaded in full when you select them in the digital map store, but larger topo maps are downloaded as needed. If you want to download the map for offline use, see the Bulk Download page in the manual.

Notes

If the map you are looking for is not shown in the Map list, ensure you have selected "Maps Everywhere" as well as “My Online Maps”. If it is not there, that means the edition is no longer in the DMS catalog. In most cases you are eligible for a discount to the latest edition of the map, so we recommend you purchase a new edition map. If you are using old maps, or third party maps, it may prompt you to purchase a Pro license, which includes use of Classic Maps, Imported Maps, and several other features that you will need in order to use the latest software. In most cases it is better to buy a new edition of the map instead.
