Can anyone tell me what the level of detail is with Viewranger for areas you don't have maps for? Or do you simply just use the Ovi Maps if you haven't got Viewranger maps for that area?
Apologies for the naivity but mobile phones are one of the few things I know very little about (and GPS for that matter) even though I am usually quite techy.
I'm only on my second mobile ever at the moment. I refused for years to get one because of the radiation and still today use them very little. GPS, I have never had one but would like a small device like Nokia 5800 to use for outdoor gps.
I understand with Viewranger (looking on their site) there is an option to pick and choose the areas you want to download maps for. Do you know if you just pay for every small square or is there an option for say 5 small map area squares for a set price?
There are a few national parks I would download for sure like Snowdonia and the Lakes but there are areas outside of most NPs that I'd need maps for. E.g. running the course of rivers or lochs etc. E.g. Loch Awe, Rivers Tyne, Wear, Wye, N and S Esk.
The last question I have is can you recommend a waterproof case for the Nokia 5800? Can you get anything that is a tight fit or do you have to go bag style?
I have been looking on eBay for used 5800 were people have upgraded to something else. I think I should be able to pick one up for around £80 with any luck which is better value than being tied to a contract for years or paying outright for the latest iPhone etc. I also have two spare batteries for my present Nokia which are also compatible with the 5800 so will already have two spare batteries when I get the 5800.
Thanks for your advise.
