The linkup seamlessly integrates this with the LateRooms.com service and means that once you’ve found the perfect route for your adventure, you can browse and book from a choice of nearby accommodation. Planning a multi-day adventure? No problem either, ViewRanger can suggest accommodation close to each day’s starting location.
Route and accommodation search can be done either using the ViewRanger web based planning tools at my.viewranger.com or using the embedded “find nearby accommodation” link within every route downloaded to the ViewRanger mobile app.
