ViewRanger app for iPhone

kingofbeers · 2019-04-27 14:11:41

Hi gang, I’m just wondering if anyone has used ViewRanger app on their iPhone to navigate while hiking. Will routes uploaded on it by other people navigate you. Any help much appreciated.

I'd say most of us on this forum have used VR while hiking, and would certainly encourage it's use but i wouldn't be 100% dependent on it.

Batteries die, weather gets crap and phone gets wet, etc etc, so always have a paper map and compass and the knowledge on their use.
