Travelers with iPhones can now locate the best hotel at the best rate
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2, 2009 — Simultravel GPS won the iPhone Top 10 Excellence Award in the travel category for 2008 presented by iPhone Footprint, a leading iPhone information resource. Simultravel GPS is the first iPhone worldwide hotel-reservation application with interactive maps that saves people money by finding the best hotel rate while traveling.
The new Simultravel GPS iPhone application locates hotels within the desired area, displays pricing information, and enables instant conversation with a live travel agent at the tap of a screen. Available for just 99 cents through Apple's iTunes App Store as well as a free lite version, Simultravel GPS is perhaps one of the most innovative travel tools yet. It is designed specifically to support Apple's 15 million iPhone and iTouch iPod customers.
"There's perhaps nothing more frustrating for tired travelers than driving from hotel to hotel in search of availability to find the right room at the best price," says David Saitta, President of Simultravel Inc. "The Simultravel GPS iPhone application is ideal for business travelers, or anyone who is planning a trip and in need of a hotel. With access to low rates from over 38,000 hotels across the world, users can more effectively compare value to get the better deal at the best hotel."
One of the most notable benefits of Simultravel GPS is that it enables iPhone owners to discover the best night's stay for a person's travel budget. If someone has booked a room at one place and isn't satisfied, a quick look at the GPS map reveals other choices and rates in that area.
Simultravel GPS is simple to use, and is perfect for business travel, vacations, weekend getaways, international travel, as well as airport overnight layovers. Many hotels offer last-minute booking deals, and Simultravel GPS provides real-time communication of those special rates by using the hotel rates from the Priceline Partner Network. It's a great way for iPhone users to plan travel while they travel.
