Directions for installing your Mobile Hunting Map

Scout-N-Hunt Maps compatible with IOS, Android, and Windows device

We have outlined a step-by-step procedure to download and install your map data file into up to three of your devices. The Mobile Hunting Maps require the CarryMap app to be installed on your device. If you already have the CarryMap app installed on your device, double check to make sure you have the most current version.  Both the iOS and Android versions are 5.5  and were released in August, 2020. In general, these instructions apply to most devices, but they may vary depending on the version of your operating system software and/or age of your device. For example, an iPhone 7 is different than an iPhone 11 pro. Also, the CarryMap app is not compatible with an Apple computer or laptop, but is compatible with an iPhone or iPad with iOS version 10.0 or higher.

First: You Need Good Internet

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. Disruption cancels the download. Once loaded, the map can be read without WIFI or cell service

Second: Install the CarryMap app for all devices. CarryMap app reads our Maps

1. Good internet service
2. Make sure you have updated your device’s operating system to the most current version. The app may not function properly on outdated systems.
3. Download the CarryMap app to your device. Dependent on your device, click on the button below to access the app.

**The default browser for IOS is Safari. For Android and Windows we recommend Chrome as it seems to work better than Edge, FireFox, or the others without causing issues.

Fourth: Follow Device Specific Directions Below

IOS Devices: (see ** below)

1. Dependent on your version of IOS (Apple operating system) you might be asked a second time to confirm the download.
2. How the download progress is displayed on your phone’s screen varies dependent on the IOS version on your phone. 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. 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. Do not try to download a file using a cell phone service, more than likely it will drop before the download is complete.
3. Once the download progress is complete (the blue circle moves up and down and the blue line disappears), the file has been downloaded.
4. Log out of your MyAccount and locate the files icon on your phone.
5. Tap on the files icon and your iCloud downloads window should open (if you have previously downloaded files to your phone).  If not, the Browse window will open and under Locations, click on iCloud Drive. The iCloud Drive window will open, displaying a download folder. Click on it.
6. Locate the map data file and press on the area just above the file name and a drop-down menu appears.
7. At the bottom of the drop-down menu, tap on Share and across the bottom you will see a line of icons. Scroll the line to the left until you either see the CarryMap app icon or at the far right end a box with three horizontal dots that reads More. If the CarryMap app appears, tap on it (skip to step 16), if not, click on More and the Apps window opens.
8. Within the Apps window, scroll up until you see Copy to CarryMap.  Tap on it.
9. A dialog box opens asking if you want to save to home directory, tap Yes.
10. The CarryMap app will open and you will be prompted to input the password you wrote down in step 6. Click OK and the map will appear as a faint image. Once the map is unlocked you should not have to enter the password to open the map next time you open CarryMap.
11. Gently tap on the plus button and the screen will zoom in and you can verify the map is the State you wanted.

**The steps noted will vary dependent on your IOS version and iPhone or iPad model.  For example, an iPhone 8 differs from an iPhone 10 or 11.
