Using ViewRanger in Different Countries
ViewRanger supports the Mercator coordinate system, which covers almost the
entire world except near the poles.
It also supports international UTM coordinate system, which covers the whole
world. It is split into 60 zones numbered from 1 through to 60. You can choose
to display coordinates in this format by going to Settings > UI > Coordinate type.
If you do not have a map for a worldwide location you can record tracks and
create POIs and routes in either the Mercator coordinate system or in the
appropriate UTM zone. ViewRanger will prompt you to choose the zone or
country when it first receives a valid GPS position.
Alternatively set the coordinate system or UTM zone by going to the Map list
(Options > Organizer, then Maps). Select Options > Choose country. Either
select a country, or choose 'Mercator Lat Lon', or choose 'Enter UTM zone'. If
the latter then you'll be prompted to enter the zone number between 1 and 60.
Character Sets and Encoding
ViewRanger supports international character sets. We recommend saving GPX
files with UTF-8 encoding.
