ViewRanger GPS now available on the App Store
The award winning ViewRanger GPS sat-nav app has hit the App Store. For £14.99 iPhone owners can get all of the features of a dedicated GPS system on their smartphones.
The ViewRanger GPS features premium map data from 13 countries, including the UK and USA, and includes multi-touch controls.
There is also an emphasis on topographic mapping in the app, provided by National Geographic and Ordnance Survey, ideal for trekkers, ramblers and off-road enthusiasts.
“There is a generation of people that have grown up with vehicle sat-navs and internet-based maps who may rarely use topographic maps,” said Dan Ortiz, Vice President, Products, Marketing & Operations for National Geographic Maps. “ViewRanger GPS captures this audience, and by making it easy to follow a topographic map on their phone, it will allow them to venture into the outdoors with confidence.”
