Walks to your mobile
Software from ViewRanger for Symbian, Android and iPhone allows you to view your position and plotted routes on your mobile phone. You can buy mapping for an increasing range of countries. Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer and 1:50,000 Landranger mapping is available. New tiles of mapping can be bought 'over the air' or by using a free program on your PC.
The application links directly with Walkingworld to search for walks in your vicinity. If you are Walkingworld subscriber you can then download the walk directly to your phone at no extra cost (apart from what you pay your mobile operator for the data connection, of course).
You can set up this free access using your My ViewRanger account. You will need to register your phone in the My Viewranger community portal.
Once you are logged in to the portal you should enter your Walkingworld login details. To do this select 'Plug ins' from the 'My ViewRanger account' drop down menu at the top of the page. Put in the email address you are registered with for Walkingworld and your Walkingworld password, and press 'Save'.
You can use the map in My Viewranger to search for Walkingworld walks and view their details, including the instructions and images. It is also possible to search for walks from the ViewRanger application on your phone.
