Title: Hiking/mountaineering application
Post by: Hribovc on February 06, 2014, 01:04:06 am

Hi, experts.

For my Nokia 808 I' m looking for gps application that could read mounteneering maps. I have maps in Tiff format and already geoconverted. I used them before in my android device with program, called Oruxmaps, worked perfectly, but because of photography I switched to Nokia 808 PureView. Does that kind of app. exist at all for my device? Just to load maps into device, without any difficult extra work with maps?

Thanks for any help.

Regards

Matthew, thanks for your answer. I tried ViewRanger, but it didn't work with my maps ...  :(

AFTrack might work for you, never tried it personally, download the one for S60 v5/Symbian^3

Well, I found these words of one of users AFTrack ... "What Symbian doesn't support, as far as serious usage is concerned, is stuff like GPS apps (there is only AFtrack which works but is very limited on map size)".

Allstar12345, in the list of supported phones for AFTrack s60 v5 there is no Nokia 808 PureView. There is no trial version, just paid one, so ...  ???

Regards.

I'll ask someone who has the App installed on his 808, maybe he has a trial version somewhere,.

Hi.

I finally found what I was looking for my 808. The app. is called Track@Way. Excellent!
5 euros for unlimited version (free version has limited space for importing maps).
