ViewRanger & Nokia

Thursday, June 7th 2007 - 20:25 CEST - Comments: 0

A ugmentra, a leading innovator in gps-enabled navigation software for smartphones, announced the latest version of its award-winning ViewRanger off-road mapping, navigation and information software, and announced support for the Nokia N95 with integrated GPS. ViewRanger is specifically designed for the off-road user, whether hill-walker, mountain biker, geo-cacher, birdwatcher, or rural tourist. It offers a unique combination of 2D and 3D mapping, GPS navigation, sports performance analysis, content sharing, and buddy tracking. Running ViewRanger on the Nokia N95 with integrated GPS removes the need for a separate GPS receiver.

 

ViewRanger on the Nokia N95

The Nokia N95's high-resolution, bright and crisp screen is perfect for displaying the fine detail of 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 topographic maps. The 5 megapixel camera allows the sharpest images to be captured, marked on the map, and shared over-the-air via the ViewRanger Information Exchange. All of England (or Scotland) at 1:50,000 scale can be held on the Nokia N95 via a single microSD memory card. Whether a frequent outdoor sports participant, or just an occasional visitor to the countryside, ViewRanger and the Nokia N95 deliver capabilities and convenience that cannot be found elsewhere.

ViewRanger mapping & Navigation

"Having achieved Symbian Signed status, we are delighted that ViewRanger is one of the first third-party mapping and navigation applications to support the Nokia N95 and its integrated GPS," said Mike Brocklehurst, CTO, Augmentra Ltd. "ViewRanger and the N95 set a new benchmark for functionality, ease-of-use and convenience in outdoor GPS." ViewRanger runs on the Symbian S60 smartphone platform, and transforms a Nokia or other S60 handset into a full-featured trail navigation system. ViewRanger is available to use internationally with no base-maps, and with Ordnance Survey mapping of Great Britain. Further international coverage will be announced shortly.
