Where in the world? A review of the latest generation GPS and digital mapping systems.

"Loaded onto a compatible smartphone, ViewRanger is as much a must-have mobile accessory as camera and video were a few years back. It's all pretty mindblowing and fantastic value for money. Phone reception is not necessary to locate yourself using the GPS receiver and reception was always excellent during test. Battery life is also much better on a phone than a PDA or GPS unit and also lighter and less bulky to carry." ViewRanger earned a top rating of 4.5 / 5.0

GPS Group Test - Offroad GPS software

"ViewRanger simplifies the process at a price level that makes it attractive to the occasional user. What makes the software interesting is the potential of the accessible database. For hillwalkers the uses are endless, from listing a safe descent in bad weather to an update route description of rock climbs. The ability to link this information to a location you can actually see in front of you has potential for both businesses and individuals, and adds another dimension to your once humble smartphone device."
