Can I exchange route, tracks and points of interest with other applications or web sites?
ViewRanger can share routes, tracks and points of interest with other applications and web sites, importing and exporting them using GPX format files.
You can also use my.viewranger.com to view and share your routes and tracks.
Can I use maps from other applications, or scanned / bitmap maps?
ViewRanger can't read maps from other applications. This is true of most other mapping applications, because most suppliers such as OS do not permit sharing. Scanned maps such as JPG or TIF can't be used either.
