Nokia 5800 taps ViewRanger topographic maps

ViewRanger, the personal outdoor GPS navigation software for mobile phones, is now available for the Nokia 5800 and other Symbian S60 touch screen mobile phones. The ViewRanger application, which is popular with outdoor activity enthusiasts across Europe, takes full advantage of the touch screen to put detailed topographic maps at your fingertips and offer a simplified navigation and outdoor exploration experience.

ViewRanger is a sophisticated but easy-to-use off-road satellite navigation application that offers instant access to detailed topographic mapping across Europe along with rich content including points-of-interest and leisure route guides. Maps can be downloaded directly to the handset via WLAN or mobile internet, downloaded via the web to be side-loaded onto a handset, or are available pre-loaded on SD memory-cards.
