Don’t have a host’s access code? You can try out the HipMaps app with these access codes:
HipTrail – A collection of parks and trails in the (pretend) community of Greenville, NC
HipChamber – The (pretend) Franklin Chamber of Commerce highlighting their members in Northern California
HipRiver – A (pretend) Inn in Wauwatosa, WI
HipCampus – A (pretend) university’s Parents Weekend in Virginia
INSTRUCTIONS:
Download the HipMaps app and open it.
Allow the HipMaps app to access your location while using the app.
Enter your host’s map access code, or use one of the sample codes above, & hit ‘View Map’.
Your host’s custom map will appear on your screen, with the Google Maps base map layered underneath it.
Click on the bottom section with “Click for details, websites & directions” to expand the list of locations on the map. Click on the arrow symbol to the left of the desired location to bring up directions from your current location in Apple Maps. If there is a globe symbol to the right of the location, click on it to bring up that location’s website. Click on the map area to minimize the map list. Note: not all locations will have the globe symbol displayed - it is up to the map’s host to decide if they want to link a location to a website.
Zoom in and out (using fingers); use the app tools to zoom to the map extent (home symbol); toggle the custom map and Google Map labels on and off (layer symbol); zoom to your location (location symbol); or learn about HipMaps (i symbol).
Note: if you do not want to see your location on the custom map or use the directions feature, simply do not allow the app to access your location. You can always update permissions in your phone’s Settings.
Pro tip: In order avoid having to enter the map access code every time you use it, do not completely close the app – simply minimize it.
