To use the EarthRanger Mobile app, you’ll need to sign in with your EarthRanger account and site information. An internet connection is required for the initial login to sync your data from the web platform.
Note: The following steps demonstrate the configuration process on an Android device. iOS device configuration is similar, but not exactly as shown here.
Step-by-Step: First-Time Login
1. Open the EarthRanger Mobile app.
On the first launch, the login screen will appear.
2. Enter your site and user information:
 |
Site Name – Enter the EarthRanger site name only for the account (i.e. ‘site-name’). User Name – Enter the username of the EarthRanger account login information. Password – Enter the password of the EarthRanger account. You can hide and show your password while it is being written by clicking on the show icon. Remember Me - Remembers all values except for password. |
3. Tap “Log In.”
If your credentials are correct, the app will begin loading your EarthRanger data. This initial sync may take a few minutes depending on your connection speed.
What Happens After Login?
When logging in for the first time, the app downloads necessary site configuration to your device so it can work offline. This includes:
- User account settings
- Event types and categories
- Patrol types
- Subject groups
- Subject track data
Important: You must complete this step while online to use EarthRanger Mobile offline later.
PIN Profile Login
If your user account is configured to log in with a PIN, you’ll be prompted to enter it after the initial sync.
