Maps

Apps with maps for iOS or Android

  • Avenza Maps - The park makes available many maps for the Avenza app for iOS and Android devices, including ENC charts and park regulations. Browse available products at https://store.avenza.com/collections/glacier-bay-national-park or through the app. All maps are free for download and use. We recommend using the Collections feature (https://support.avenzamaps.com/hc/en-us/articles/4961853826452-Map-folders-vs-Collections) in the App to put all the ENC charts together so you will migrate off one chart to the next as you move across the area. Nesting a map like the South Marble Island Approach Distance map into a larger extent map, like the Glacier Bay Guide, will mean you will seamlessly zoom into this map as you approach the island and navigate to comply with regulations. The accuracy of your position will be dependent on your device and whether it has a clear sky of satellites.
  • Whale Alert - Polygons will load when the app is opened in a service area, then they are available outside of a service area. Whale reports are visible to park biologists. https://www.ifaw.org/international/campaigns/whale-alert
