You need a basic overview map before you can download map tiles. You can download a free one via Organizer 
ViewRanger store.
To download detailed map tiles tap Organizer , then ViewRanger Store, then your country, and tap on one of the grid items. Alternatively from the map view press Menu 
and choose Show map download grid, then select a scale.
You'll be transferred to the map view with the download grid shown. Red tiles have not been downloaded to the phone, green tiles have. Use the zoom 
if you cannot see the grid.
To download a tile tap a square so its border is bold red, then press Menu and choose Download map tile here. Once the tile is downloaded its square will go green - zoom in to see the map.
 Press Menu and choose scale. |
 Select map tile and press Menu and Download map tile here. |
 Download map tile. |
 Download map tile progress. |
 Downloaded map tile shown in green. |
 Zoom in on downloaded map tile. |
 Downloaded map tiles are shown in green. |
To download all the map tiles currently on screen with a solid border press the menu button and choose Download area. If too many tiles are on screen the server may tell you the area is too large – in that case zoom in to download fewer tiles.
If you choose Menu Auto downloads on, then ViewRanger will automatically download map tiles as you pan around the screen. It requests tiles where you don't already have a map.
When auto download is on ViewRanger only downloads tiles for the map scale you are currently viewing. Press the stop icon to stop auto download.
 Choose scale. |
 Auto download mode activated from context menu. |
 Confirm Auto download mode. |
 Simply tap on the required grid sections and the tiles are downloaded. . |
If the free overview map is not detailed enough then we recommend you download some intermediate detail tiles. For example, in France download a tile or two of 1:1,000,000 map, before trying to download 1:25,000 scale maps.
To leave download mode, so you can create objects like routes and POI's again, press Menu button and choose Hide download grid.
