When I put that address into chrome it just pulled up some general search links about avenza.  It didn't launch the app.  I tried with the app closed and open while doing it.

Maybe its an Android vs. I phone issue???

Here's one final method to try that I just tested on iOS:
In the Avenza app, try hitting the plus sign to add a map, and then using the option "enter a URL of a map" and then enter that same avenza-mapstore style link (even though it only explicitly mentions http or ftp address support, it seems the app can interpret it)

For me on iOS it pulls up the page for download. May work in your case since the link is input direct in the app instead of using Chrome as a middle-man?

Peek, just wondering how you use the kmz map? Can you use this with avenza? Thanks in advance.

If you copy/paste the below link in iOS Safari or the Android equivalent it should load in Avenza.

I don't think it's searchable in the Avenza Store anymore but as far as I know the direct link from algonquinmap.com still works

avenza-mapstore://product_details/94357

 

That is great! What are the odds you have those addresses for the Killarney and Temagami maps. I've been stumped on how to get them back on my phone

I was able.to.find it searching it that way but unfortunately I get an error message when trying to.download the map. Oh well. I guess I will just have to wait and hot that Unlostify has their map done by May.

@spoonsy thanks the links work great, but unfortunately I get an error message when trying to download the maps. Basically a purchase error because I had not "purchased" them previously under an account.

Unlostify will not be putting their maps on Avenza. I guess, I will stick with topos on my phone for the foreseeable future.

 

That's correct but from what I understand they will be using a new platform. Will still be able to use a digital version on your smartphone.

Just tried this and got all 3 on my android, Thanks alot, thought I was screwed when my old phone broke. (had no account for avenza and imported via URL)

What browser did you copy that link into on your Android device?
Edit - I got it to work with a little trouble shooting. I got an error when i entered the URL into the APP on my Android phone. I then tried my girlfriends IPhone and it worked no problem. I then decided to log into my account on her IPhone so it would be in my "dowload history" so I could try it that way on my Android. Then to my surprise it did not work any more on her IPhone. Then I logged out of my account on my Android and it worked great.
Moral of the story - It wont work if you are logged in when you enter the URL!

Hah, didn't see your edit Andrew. Yup!

What I would really like is to get ahold of these ZIP files that are being downloaded when you install the maps. That way we could always have access to them, even when they are removed from the store..

Agree Martin :-)  This is exactly my concern I was referencing in my post (https://algonquinadventures.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=2923), if the store changes their policies (ie making maps unavailable from discontinued Avenza map producers - I won't be able to load on my next phone).  If I do find it I'll shoot you a PM (perhaps you could do the same?) :-)

Now you have me wondering. Somewhere I have an old Motorola phone that had avenza and all Jeff's Maps on it. Do not know of the files are there but it is worth the look. 
Fair warning, this may take a few days, I have n idea where it is but I will let you all know what I find.
