The ViewRanger immersive-mapping software has been developed for the S60 platform, built on the Symbian OS. The S60 platform is licensed by some of the foremost mobile phone manufacturers in the world.

ViewRanger runs on Symbian S60 based phones and devices (S60 2nd and 3rd edition). ViewRanger supports phones with built-in GPS, such as the N95 - phones with a built in GPS are indicated in the table below - or you can use an NMEA-compatible Bluetooth GPS receiver. (You can also enter your location co-ordinates manually.)

ViewRanger will display maps, record tracks, navigate, show points-of-interest and display its panorama without requiring a mobile network connection. However, to use the Buddy Beacon, or to share images, notes and points-of-interest, or to update licensed POI sets, your handset needs to be able to open a data connection to the internet.

ViewRanger is compatible with the following phones:

* These phones contain an internal GPS, which ViewRanger fully supports. You can also use a Bluetooth GPS.

ViewRanger requires Symbian 7 or later, S60 2nd edition or later.
