    Installation
    Install the appropriate SIS file using Nokia PC Suite. Do not uninstall the previous version of ViewRanger because this update can be installed over the top of the old version - if you do uninstall you may lose your license keys and settings. There are more detailed instructions in the support FAQ and in the manual. Do not worry if you choose the wrong file or make a mistake, you cannot damage your phone.
    The release notes give an overview of the changes since version 2.6, with some details about the main changes. The user manual has been updated to cover the new functionality and the descriptions of some older features have been revised.
    The Activate menu item is always available in the menu now. It does not indicate that ViewRanger needs to be activated. It is needed for activating map over-the-air tokens. If ViewRanger needs to be activated it will tell you when it starts and also tell you on the About panel.
