1. Open the map in Safari
- Use SafariInstalling to the Home Screen is designed for Safari. If you opened the link from another app (a social network, for example), tap the compass icon or “Open in Safari”.
- Leave Private BrowsingIn Private Browsing the app and your progress cannot be saved.
- Go to the mapOpen the PBZ Guide interactive map and wait for it to load.
2. Add it to the Home Screen
- Tap “Share”It is the square with an arrow pointing up, in the Safari toolbar. If you can’t see it, tap the three dots (⋯) in the toolbar and then Share.
- Choose “Add to Home Screen”Scroll down the list if it does not show up.
- Tap “Add”Keep the name “PBZ Map” or change it. If you see the “Open as Web App” option, leave it on.
3. Open it from the icon
Tap the PBZ Map icon on your Home Screen. It opens full screen, without the Safari bar, like any app. Do it with internet the first time: that is when the map, the data and the region screenshots are saved.
4. First use
- Find markers: tap “☰ Filters and progress” and type the name of a boss, a weapon or a bell.
- Mark as found: tap a marker and then Mark as found. You will see your percentage overall, by category and by region.
- Filters: turn categories on or off; Hide found cleans up the map.
- Language: the app opens in the language you added it in; you can switch it from the website menu.
On iPhone, the Home Screen app keeps its data separate from Safari. What you ticked before in Safari does not show in the app: start ticking from the app.
5. Offline use
Once you have opened the app, the map, the filters, the search and your progress work in airplane mode or with no signal. The full wiki guides do need internet.
6. How updates arrive
You don’t have to do anything. Every time you open the app with internet, it downloads new markers and map fixes in the background. You will see the changes the next time you open it.
7. Remove the app
Press and hold the PBZ Map icon, tap Remove App and confirm. Removing it also deletes the progress saved in it.
Troubleshooting
- “Add to Home Screen” doesn’t show up: check that you are in Safari and not in another app’s built-in browser, and that you are not in Private Browsing.
- It opens with the Safari bar: delete the icon and add it again from Safari with “Open as Web App” turned on.
- It doesn’t load offline: open it once with internet and wait until the whole map is shown.
- I lost my progress: it is deleted if you remove the app or clear website data in Settings › Safari.
