ViewRanger beta

posted by Mike Brocklehurst on Thursday, September 10, 2009

We've released a new beta version of ViewRanger.

This beta can be used on any Symbian S60 phone, you don't need to register with us.

A big change is that Swedish and Finnish languages are now included.

There are also a number of small changes, the wiki has more details. For example, route length is displayed over the map when a route is selected or being created. The * and # keys now work for zooming on the E55.

We are pleased to announce that ViewRanger maps of Sweden are now available.

There are two ways to buy the maps - either selecting your own map using the map chooser or by over the air download.

The maps are mainly Terrängkartan, 1:50000 scale, which covers all of Sweden except Norrbotten, Västerbotten and northern part of Jämtland County

Those others areas are covered by Fjällkartan (Mountain Map at 1:100000) for Swedish mountains from Salen to Treriksröset; and Vägkartan (Roadmap 1:100000) for the small remaining area in the north of Sweden.

Altitude and panorama labels are not yet available for Sweden.

A searchable 900,000 place name gazetteer is included.
