How do I download a map?

If you are a FATMAP Explore member, you have the ability to download areas of the map for offline use.

You can subscribe to FATMAP Explore in the FATMAP App.

To download an area of the map:

1. Open up the app and log-in if you haven't already

4. Tap on the Download Map button on the top right-hand side of the screen

5. Zoom in and out to select the exact area that you want to download.

6. Before you download, ensure you have the latest version of the app installed, you have enough space on your phone and you are connected to fast WiFi (Note: you can see how many megabytes of space the map download will take up and how much free space you have on your device on the bottom of the screen).

7. Hit the Download button.

8. A pop-up message will appear informing you the download has started and that you must leave the app open until the download is complete. Tap OK to close this message.
