The app for hikers

Those who love outdoor activities will find the perfect adventure companion in ViewRanger. It is an all-in-one mapping, guidance and navigation service that does not require an internet connection. Together with the web application, it can be used to plan any route on foot, by bike or on skis.

This makes it the ideal app for lovers of hiking, cycling and outdoor sports in general.

Skyline: Augmented Reality arrives at ViewRanger

AR technology is built into the latest versions of this app, allowing us to identify elements of our surroundings such as lakes, peaks and waypoints simply by pointing our phone's camera at them. It's easier than ever with Skyline, since we can see all these waypoints right on our phone's screen and we simply have to follow the directional arrows that appear on our mobile device.
