To change settings you open your map’s own web page in a browser. Most of the time you don’t need the IP address for that: the map’s name works too.

Easiest: use the map’s name #

1. On a phone or computer that is on the same WiFi as your map, open a web browser.
2. Type http://<map name>.local into the address bar, for example http://pilotmapfl-xs.local. Use the exact address that was shown in the red bar during the WiFi setup.
3. The map’s page opens. Its current IP address is shown in small text in the top right corner, next to Web Remote.

This works on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Windows. Some Android phones can’t open .local names; use one of the ways below there.

Look in your router or WiFi app #

Your router knows the address of every device on your WiFi. Open your router’s app (for example Eero, Google Home, Orbi, or your internet provider’s app) or its web page, look at the list of connected devices and find the one whose name starts with pilotmap. The IP address is listed next to it, for example 192.168.1.50.

Use a network scanner #

If you can’t get into your router, a free scanner app lists all devices on your WiFi. Run it on a phone or computer that is on the same WiFi as the map and look for a device called pilotmap… (it may also show as Raspberry Pi).

• Windows: Advanced IP Scanner (free). Click Scan and wait until the list is complete. Video
• Mac: LanScan from the Mac App Store (free), or Angry IP Scanner (free, also for Windows).
• iPhone / iPad: Fing or IP Scanner from the App Store. Video
• Android: Fing or Network Analyzer from Google Play. Video

Then open the map’s page #

Type http:// followed by the address into your browser, for example http://192.168.1.50.

Good to know: the IP address can change when the map or your router restarts. The .local name stays the same, so it is the best one to bookmark.

The map doesn’t show up anywhere? #

• Check that the phone or computer is on the same WiFi as the map, not on mobile data or a guest network.
• Look at the legend LEDs and compare them with the status codes. If the map is not on your WiFi, set up the WiFi again.
