Directions for Downloading Tour Maps
1. Go to the app store for your device. Tap in the Search box and type ArcGIS…It’s FREE!
2. Download & install the app.
Make sure you are installing the ArcGIS app made by ESRI. You will probably need to login to the app store using your account to accept the install. It will take a minute or two to download and install depending on the speed of your connection.
3. Once the install is complete, DO NOT sign in. Open the app by clicking on the spy glass and searc
4. Type "Louisa" in the search box.
You should see the Louisa Gilmer and Louisa Hotchkiss maps as available choices. Select either (both are GREAT!) and open.
5. Once the map opens, look for the locator icon (crosshair) on the screen. Tap to active the GPS.
The device may ask for permission to use your location. If you accept, your location will be dropped on the map (Gilmer or Hotchkiss) and you'll be able to see historic points around you.
If the map doesn't immediately show up, but you see aerial imagery, try pinching to either zoom in or out. This should activate the map. For best resolution, make sure you are set between 1:2,000 and 1:100,000.
6. Go EXPLORE!
