Desktop

As an admin you can install the desktop version from the mapview of your login to the caltopo.com website. The desktop version can work offline after downloading the proper resources while online before going offline.

• Select “Your Data”
• Select the “Desktop Access” tab

The desktop version launches a local webserver that will run in your browser at localhost:8080 – when you login in it will sync data with your online account.

It will look and function like the online version. The only difference is that you can download data and work offline.
