ViewRanger is an Android application that helps users to navigate the area, view routes and find a way around wilderness. Like Triposo, this utility is intended for tourists who enjoy exploring new places.
Navigation
After you sign up, it is possible to download necessary maps for offline access. You can choose the area manually or allow the application to use the location. The navigator provides an option to save routes in case you would like to return back to your starting point.
Maps show the location you are situated in and how many minutes of hours you need to get to the final destination. You can view the nearest shops and public services.
Trips
It is necessary to turn on GPS to let ViewRanger work properly. Thus, you can have correct routes that help you to get from point A to point B the most convenient way. There is also an option to record your tips and share maps with other users of the community.
During your journey with ViewRanger you can add photos and notes to make your next travels through these routes easier. In addition, it is possible to check reviews of maps created by other users who have walked or hiked on those areas before.
