When crews started to use digital maps on their iPads, it was definitely a welcome move for many. We used to get our first look of the fire during the morning briefing when the paper maps were handed out, but now both air and ground personnel come to the briefing more prepared knowing what they’re up against.

Frequently asked questions

Every subscription includes access through the Blue Marble Hub for centralized license management, self-service offline licensing, regular feature updates, and access to product downloads and account management.

Choose the plan that matches the complexity of your workflows. Essentials is designed for core GIS visualization and data preparation, Advanced adds terrain analysis, scripting, geodetic capabilities, and professional cartography with MAPublisher, while Professional includes advanced lidar, photogrammetry, AI-powered analysis, and the complete point cloud toolset.

Yes, depending on your subscription tier. MAPublisher is included with Advanced and Professional subscriptions, while many of Geographic Calculator’s capabilities are embedded in Advanced and Professional, likely eliminating the need for separate products or licenses based on your use case.

For users who need the full, standalone Geographic Calculator capability and experience, it is also available at no additional cost with Advanced and Professional subscriptions.

Yes. Organizations can purchase multiple subscriptions and manage them centrally through the Blue Marble Hub, making it easy to assign licenses as your team grows or your needs change.

Yes. As your workflows evolve, you can move to a higher subscription tier to gain access to additional capabilities without reinstalling the software.

Yes. Global Mapper supports offline workflows, and subscriptions include self-service offline and air-gapped access tokens through the Blue Marble Hub when needed.

Frequently asked questions

If you are looking to import your own custom maps, the Plus subscription is your best option. This subscription can be purchased in-app on both iOS and Android devices, for $34.99 USD, and allows you to import up to 20 of your own custom maps. Alternatively, both the Pro and Enterprise plan allow you to import an unlimited number of your own custom maps.

If you have a Plus subscription and find that you would benefit more from a Pro subscription, you can easily upgrade.

Depending on which platform you are using, and when the subscription was purchased, the steps to upgrade are slightly different. For those who purchase in-app on an iOS device, you can change your subscription by going to your Apple ID > Subscriptions > Avenza Maps and changing the subscription plan from Avenza Plus to Avenza Pro. You will automatically be prorated and charged the difference by Apple, and your subscription details will be updated. If you purchased a subscription on Android, we recommend reaching out to our Support team to better assist here.

Subscriptions purchased in-app are purchased on a per-device basis, meaning that they can only be used actively on one device at a time. If you get a new device, you can switch your subscription over to that device easily using the steps contained in this article. If you need a subscription on more than one device at a time, you will need to purchase a subscription for each device. For Plus subscriptions, or Pro subscriptions fewer than 3 devices, this can be done in-app on each device. If you are looking to purchase a Pro subscription for 3+ devices, please select that plan.

Yes. The Enterprise plan, which is available for any number of devices, is specifically designed for organizations looking to deploy Avenza Maps to three or more devices. Additionally, this plan has additional functionality that teams may find helpful.

Yes. Avenza Maps is built for offline use, so you can access maps, navigate with GPS, and collect field data without cellular service or an internet connection. Download the maps you need before heading into the field, then use your device’s built-in GPS to see your location, record tracks, add placemarks, capture photos, and collect information while offline. When connectivity is available again, you can share or export your field data as needed.
