How to install and use it on iPhone → Got it

1. Download the APK

1. Open this page in ChromeOn your Android phone, go to PBZ Guide. Download the APK only from this website, never from other sites.
2. Tap “Download for Android”Chrome may warn that “this type of file can harm your device”. It is the normal warning for any APK: tap Download anyway.
3. Wait for it to finishYou will see the download complete notification. The file also stays in the Files app, in the Downloads folder.

2. Allow installs from your browser

Since Android 8, each app needs your permission to install other apps. It is only asked the first time.

1. Open the APKTap the download notification or the file in Files › Downloads.
2. Tap “Settings”If Android says your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source, tap Settings.
3. Turn on “Allow from this source”Turn on the switch for Chrome (or for Files, if you opened the APK from there) and go back.

3. If Google Play Protect shows up

Play Protect checks apps that do not come from Google Play. As our app is not in the store, it may show “Unsafe app blocked” or “Play Protect doesn’t recognize this app’s developer”.

1. Check where it came fromOnly install it if you downloaded the APK from the PBZ Guide button.
2. Tap “More details”This opens the option to continue.
3. Tap “Install anyway”If Play Protect offers to send the app for scanning, you can accept or not: it does not change the install.

The app asks for no special permissions: no location, camera, contacts or files. If an APK with our name ever asks for any of that, do not install it.

4. Install and open the app

1. Tap “Install”It takes a few seconds.
2. Tap “Open”You will also find the PBZ Map icon on your home screen or in the app drawer.
3. Open it once with internetThe first time it downloads the map, the data and the region screenshots. From then on it works offline.

5. First use

• Find markers: tap “☰ Filters and progress” and type the name of a boss, a weapon or a bell. Tap the result to fly to it.
• Mark as found: tap a marker on the map and then Mark as found. Your percentage goes up in the panel, by category and by region.
• Filters: turn categories on or off; “only” leaves just one visible. Hide found cleans up the map.
• Offline: in airplane mode the map, the filters and your progress keep working. The full wiki guides do need internet.
• Language: the app opens in your phone’s language (Spanish, English or Portuguese). You can switch it from the website menu.

6. Update the app

The map content (new markers, fixes) updates on its own every time you open the app with internet. If we publish a new APK:

1. Download the new APKFrom the same button on this page.
2. Install it over the old oneOpen it and tap Update. You do not need to uninstall the previous version.
3. Your progress is keptThe markers you ticked are still there.

7. Uninstall

Press and hold the PBZ Map icon and tap Uninstall (or go to Settings › Apps › PBZ Map › Uninstall). On Android the app stores its data together with Chrome, so your progress disappears when you clear Chrome’s browsing data for this site.

Troubleshooting

• “App not installed” or “conflicts with an existing package”: uninstall the previous version and install again. Also check you have free space.
• I can’t find the APK: open the Files app › Downloads or Chrome’s download list (⋮ › Downloads).
• The app opens with an address bar: update Google Chrome from Google Play; the app uses its engine.
• It doesn’t load offline: open it once with internet and wait until the whole map is shown.
• I don’t want to install an APK: in Chrome, open the map and tap ⋮ › Install app (or “Add to Home screen”). You get the same app with no file.
