Until the security certificate for the MAP Gateway is added as a trusted certificate, you receive a security alert every time you visit the www.mapgwy.com website. How you install the certificate differs based on the web browser and device platform.

Installing the Security Certificate on iOS

Mobile iOS platforms such as iPhones and iPads do not require a separate installation of SSL for MAP Gateway. When you connect to the MAP Gateway Wi-Fi access point and open Safari, you are automatically taken to www.mapgwy.com . Click Continue when presented with the Cannot Verify Server Identity screen. The MAP Gateway login screen appears.
