The next step, after installing the CarryMap app on your device, is to download the mobile map to you device(s)


We have outlined below a step-by-step procedure to download and install the map data file on up to three of your devices.


In general, these instructions apply to most devices, but dependent on the version of the operating system software and age of your device, they may vary.  For example, an iPhone SE is different than an iPhone 11 pro. Make sure you have updated your device's operating system to the most current version.  The app may not function properly on outdated systems.


Good internet service is needed for the “one time” download of the map data per device.
Do not use a cell signal or cell WIFI hotspot.  Download will be extremely slow and subject to disruption. Once loaded, the map can be read without WIFI or cell service.


Common to all devices: 

  1. Open your browser (see **noted below) and return to mobilehuntingmaps.com, login and your My Account page will open.

  2. On the left side, in the Dashboard, click on Orders.

  3. Your order(s) will appear on the right side of the page. Look for the most recent date.

On IOS 12.0 or newer, a blue circle with a down pointing arrow inside will appear and a tiny blue line will move from left to right just under the circle as the download is in progress. Tap on the circle to view the download progress  Be patient as some of the map data files are large.  Dependent on your internet speed and your WIFI strength, the download can take several minutes.
