AA Tourism Launches XplrNZ utilising GeoSmart Maps and Tools

GeoSmart is delighted to see the launch of an exciting FREE iPhone application called XplrNZ, developed by Dunedin based company i-Visit in conjunction with and for AA Tourism.

GeoSmart has been working with i-Visit since early 2009 and we were very excited with their appreciation of what you can do with a mobile that has GPS and Compass and therefore knows where it is on the map. We were delighted to be able to introduce them to AA Tourism, which has now culminated in the launch of this leading edge solution. Features of XplrNZ include

• Augmented Reality (camera view)
• GeoSmart Interactive Maps
• Location Based Hot Deals
• Accommodation Search and booking
• 101 Must Do’s
• Great Kiwi Road Trips
• Traveller Reviews

If you have an iPhone, head to the Appstore and download your free copy today. Let us know how you like it. If you have an Android, I understand the Android version is currently in development and planned for release in early 2011.

GeoSmart is of course very focussed on the ability to use location based data in a mobile environment, including having developed map tiles optimised for the smaller display. We of course run the Location Innovation Awards which are designed to encourage Kiwi innovation in the location based space.
