Help
This section provides links to the online help, how to contact Avenza Support, media, and legal links, as well as allow you to re-download the Getting Started map (if it's been deleted).
Enter Account Details
If you have a subscription ID for a Plus or Pro account, this is where you can enter it and register your device. By tapping on this, a second dialog will open where you can enter your username (this refers to the subscription code you received), password (unless your organization has implemented a password, leave this blank) name, email (does not have to match your Map Store email), and organization. Please note, that if you purchased a subscription in-app, there is no subscription ID (iTunes handles all in-app subscriptions for iOS devices).
Upgrade Account
If you have not purchased a subscription (for either the Plus, or Pro), but would like to, you can tap 'Upgrade Account' in order to initiate the purchase process. You will be presented with two options to purchase: 1) Plus - which provides the user access to unlimited custom (non-map store) map imports, or 2) Pro subscription - which provides the user unlimited custom imports, Shapefile support, as well as the appropriate licensing required for commercial use (Pro license is required for any work/organization related use of the app and is on a per device basis). For more details on the Subscriptions available, please see our Subscription page.
Account Details (only visible when a subscription is active on the device)
Once a subscription is activated on the device, the Enter Pro Account Details (will remain visible if the subscription is an in-app version), and Upgrade to Pro options will be removed, and replaced with Subscription Details. This allows you to view the details of your subscription including the type of subscription, name and email the subscription is registered to, as well as the expiration/renewal date of the subscription.
Restore Previous Purchases
It allows you to restore previous purchases (subscriptions only) made with that iTunes account onto the device.
