After commenting on another thread about gps namely "buying a gps" I have downloaded viewranger with a view to trying it this weekend on the hills. Got a question though how do you purchase maps can you do it through the app or do you need to open a viewranger account and how do you know how much they cost
cheers sonic
Hi Sonic
I have used Viewranger for a long time and really like it.
On the map go to the area where you want the map, then tap options > get tiles.
This lets you download map tiles for the walk your are intending to do either in 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 size.
I think your will need an account to pay for them easily, but having an account helps with planning routes on their online site.
Their technical support is first class and they even still let you phone them and you will get to speak to a real techie who knows exactly what they're talking about !
Enjoy :O)
