Walking World Subscribers
ViewRanger allows you to search for routes and then download them. The routes comes from various providers including Walking World, The AA and Excellent Books.
Walking World subscribers can download routes from Walking World for free.
If you are a Walking World subscriber then setup this free access as follows:
- To do this you need to use your ViewRanger server account - the account you setup using ViewRanger to access the ViewRanger server.
- The ViewRanger server account must be registered with the same email address as your Walking World account. If the accounts use different email addresses then either create a new ViewRanger server account, or contact ViewRanger support with details of the old account (either user name or email address) and the new email address you need it to be changed to use.
- Use a computer web browser to login to the ViewRanger portal. Note you login using the email address associated with the ViewRanger server account (not the user name) and your current server account password.
- The first time you login you will be asked to fill in a profile. Fill in the fields and save. If you don't fill in enough fields it may give an error.
- You'll then see the My Profile page. At the bottom is a "Walkingworld: Places to Walk" section, press the "Add my account" button.
- Enter your Walking World password then press Save. If there is an error you will be warned.
- You will now be able to download routes in ViewRanger. Prices will be shown as zero and you will not be charged.
Alternatively you can download a GPX file of the route from the Walking World web site and import that into ViewRanger. The GPX section explains more about GPX files.
