Important Notes on Using Our Digital Maps
- Our digital maps are snapshots of our paper maps. They are not interactive—enlarging them or removing elements (e.g., title pane) does not reveal more mapped area. However, you can enlarge or reduce them within their 300 dpi resolution.
- iPhone users: Some iPhones store images in the Cloud. This requires downloads each time you access a map. To avoid this, consider installing a flash memory card so maps remain immediately available, even in areas without Wi-Fi or phone reception. This issue appears uncommon on Android devices, but user feedback is appreciated.
- Recommendation: Download your digital maps to a laptop or other hard drive before transferring them to a tablet or smartphone.
- Important: Digital products are non-returnable. Once delivered, we cannot verify whether files have been fully deleted from your devices—please understand and be fair.
