Indoor Smart Maps™ to be available on iPad® at launch.
Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) April 2, 2010 -- Point Inside™, Inc. (www.pointinside.com) today announced its free app will be included as one of the launch applications for the release of the iPad®. Point Inside is the most comprehensive interactive indoor map application on the market today. It includes maps of over 500 shopping centers, and directory listings for over 100,000 stores, kiosks, restrooms, elevators, ATMs, parking, play areas, lost & found, and other guest services for malls in the U.S. and Canada. Shoppers can easily find the closest malls, browse or search for specific stores, services, brands or products, and pinpoint their own indoor location and destinations on interactive maps. Additionally, shoppers can view events and promotions going on at participating retailers or within the shopping center.
"We were ecstatic to learn we would be part of the iPad® launch,” said Brian Wilson, VP of Marketing for Point Inside, Inc. “It’s exciting to be one of the few apps to make the cut for this historic event. Our application works perfectly on this new platform, and it will be a great showcase app for the Navigation category. In fact, the iPad® is the perfect vehicle for viewing and interacting with our indoor smart maps for malls.”
The new iPad version of the Point Inside application has a refined user interface to accommodate quicker browsing and selection of stores, services, promotions and events, as well as improved toggling between the map and list views. It has also maintained all the same features of its iPhone sibling, such as detailed information for each retailer and the “Where Did I Park?” feature. In addition, also like its sister app, a wireless connection is not required to use the application after the initial download of a map.
Version 1.0 of the Point Inside App for iPad® is available for free from the App Store on the iPad® or at www.itunes.com/appstore/. The Point Inside App is also available on the iPhone® and iPod Touch®, as well as on Android phones version 1.6 and above, via the Android Market.
