The software offers a unique combination of 2D and 3D mapping, GPS navigation, sports performance analysis, location-based content sharing, and buddy tracking.
The long light summer days and amazing winter landscape make Finland a natural location for every conceivable outdoor sport and activity. The thousands of sparkling lakes and endless forests provide the ideal environment for exploring – whether on foot, bike, horseback, or skis. For Finnish residents and international tourists alike, ViewRanger with NLS Finland maps is an invaluable tool helping to navigate and guide around the country’s magnificent scenery.
“Applications like ViewRanger show the way how public information can be easily accessed by private users. For NLS it is important that large number of users have possibilities to use modern technology to take benefit from our maps. ”, said Antti Kosonen, Director at The National Land Survey of Finland.
“We are very pleased to be bringing maps of Finland to the ViewRanger satnav platform,” said Craig Wareham, co-founder and Director, Augmentra Ltd. “The active outdoor lifestyle and high mobile phone usage makes Finland the ideal first step in our plan to make international maps available for ViewRanger.”
