GPS-enabled software developer Augmentra announced the latest version of ViewRanger off-road mapping, navigation and information software for Symbian S60 based smartphones, that also supports Nokia N95‘s built-in GPS receiver.
Unlike “regular” navigation apps out there, ViewRanger is specifically designed for the off-road users — such as hill-walkers, mountain bikers, geo-cachers, birdwatchers, or rural tourists — providing them with additional services like sports performance analysis, content sharing, and buddy tracking. The new version of ViewRanger also packs Ordnance Survey-licensed high quality multi-scale maps of the UK (still no base-maps for other countries), 3D Panoramic Viewpoint display, GPS trail navigation, and tracklog recording… More information is available on ViewRanger’s site.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
