Does anybody have any experience of the ViewRanger software (or equivalent) that can be used on mobile phones with GPS?

Also ~*cough* does anybody know where I may find a torrent download *cough*

Cheers

Can't you use Memorymap with Symbian?

I thought that Memory Map was for windows mobile devices, although if anybody knows any different I would be more than happy to be corrected.

Works well, helps if your phone's GPS works without an external receiver, unlike my 1st gen N95, which has woeful battery life. Now using an iPhone, hoping someone will make an app which will use inboard OS maps.
If anyone wants to make me an offer on my legit DVD copy of Viewranger with the N95 drop me a line. I actually put a bigger battery in which does make a difference, allowing an afternoon's riding.

Viewranger should work with all S60 & later Nokias
I'm sure I read about an emulator program that would allow MM to be used with non-windows mobile OS's

Just had a quick google but can't seem to find anything on the emulator front.... any links?

It is possible to download a trial version off the viewranger website, but i don't know how long it lasts... I'm off to scotland for some walking in a couple of weeks and it would be cool to try it out there, but if the trial only lasts for 7 days it would be pointless.
