ViewRanger Navigation Software now compatible with Nokia N95 SmartPhone

Augmentra, a leading innovator in GPS-enabled navigation software for smartphones has announced the latest version of its award-winning ViewRanger off-road mapping, navigation and information software. The company also announced support for the Nokia N95 phone with integrated GPS.

The ViewRanger software has been designed especially for people who are on-the-move such as mountain bikers, birdwatchers, and rural tourists.

The new version of ViewRanger software offers a unique combination of 2D and 3D mapping, GPS navigation, sports performance analysis, content sharing and buddy tracking.

Since the ViewRanger software is compatible for use with Nokia’s N95 smartphone, the need for a separate GPS receiver is eliminated.

This latest version of ViewRanger includes many features that allow outdoor enthusiasts to locate, identify, navigate and connect:

High quality multi-scale mapping licensed from Ordnance Survey

Unique 3D Panoramic Viewpoint display that identifies features in the landscape

GPS trail navigation and tracklog recording, with support to import/export waypoints, tracks and routes to many PC applications including Google Earth

TripView sports computer to monitor data during a journey and analyze performance

Buddy Beacon to transmit location to friends and family; see the location on your ViewRanger handset or through the web

Exchange notes and photos to share experiences of the landscape via ViewRanger’s over-the-air Information Exchange

“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,” he added.

The ViewRanger software runs on the Symbian S60 smartphone platform and transforms a Nokia or any other S60 handsets into a full-featured trail navigation system.
