From the homepage of the Map Store located at store.avenza.com, you can search by keyword, location or search for maps that are close to your location.
Searching for Maps Near Your Location
When the search bar is clicked, two options appear from the dropdown menu. Click the first option, "Show maps near me", to search for maps that are close to your location. The second option, "Advanced search", is detailed in the article Filtering the Map Store.
Please note that searching by location is only available when location settings are turned on for your browser.
Searching for Maps by Keyword
You can search for keywords, such as terms publishers may put in the map title or description. To do so, type a keyword and click the "Maps" tab on the dropdown menu. It will populate with a sample of maps. Click "Search Now" [screenshot of button??] to view all map search results for that keyword.
Searching for Maps by Location
You can search by location to find maps that cover the area you're interested in. To do so, type a location and click the "Locations" tab on the dropdown menu. It will populate with a sample of location results. If you are seeing too many or incorrect results, try being more specific with your location. Click the location you're interested in to see all map search results for that location.

I want to search map pins I can’t get to that page anymore
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your comment. To search for maps in the new map store in the app (v3.8 and higher), you can use the search bar at the top of the screen or choose the filter option to narrow the results based on area, category, price, etc. For more details please see the Getting Maps from the Map Store article for the respective device platform (Android or iOS)
Where in the "Searching the map store" is a search window? If I enter my search word(s), in the search window at top of this page,(Searching the map store page), nothing returns, not found.
Hi Greg,
Thank you for your question. You should first make sure you tap on the map store icon (you will see a shopping cart icon near the bottom of the screen). After that you can search maps via the search bar or by map area. For example this link offers images and steps for searching on an iOS device - https://support.avenzamaps.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035183732-Getting-Maps-from-the-Map-Store.
The search function is useless. I try to search for Angler's Edge Maps and none show up. I try to search for a specific lake i know they have mapped and it doesn't show up. The only way I can find their maps is by scrolling through the entire Avenza catalog until I come across it. I also made a mistake the one time I actually bought a map, I accidentally purchased only a portion of the map I wanted and then purchased the whole bundle. It would be nice to get a credit for the portion I accidentally purchased that I repurchased in the bundle.
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your comment. The search function is dependent on a strong, stable internet connection. Please double check when search through the Map Store that your internet connection is stable. Please reach out to us via https://support.avenzamaps.com/hc/en-us/requests/new so we can further investigate your accidental purchase. For example instead of a refund we could offer an exchange for a map of equal value. Thank you!
