- (1888PressRelease) July 01, 2010 - VentureDNA is proud to announce the availability of GeoRoamer for Yellowstone National Park, the first fully integrated GPS, and Audio Tour Guide for the Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. VentureDNA, recognized as a leader in new media and emerging technology services, managed the development of GeoRoamer, which included the on-site mapping of over 150 waypoints with corresponding historic audio files to ensure the tour matched the experience for users while at Yellowstone. This is the first of many apps under development for National Parks and the third premium content app from VentureDNA in the iTunes App store.
VentureDNA, founded by Stewart Dixon, a Chicago based media and technology thought leader, is well known for assisting clients in achieving high-value branding strategies for digital media products across multiple platforms, including Internet, wireless, and emerging device applications.
The team behind the development of GeoRoamer pulled together over a century of knowledge about the "Geyser Wonderland" with audio tour segments from well-known and respected park experts: Aubrey Haines, John Good, and Lee Whittlesey. These segments were carefully mapped to the GPS waypoints (Global Positioning System) for use on the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, so visitors will always know where they are, what's near, and how far to go to the next stop, even without cell phone service. For travelers going to Yellowstone National Park experiencing the park in a day or multiple days can be challenging, especially when there is so much history to take in at the nation's first national park and limited park resources to help enrich their experience. GeoRoamer is programmed with detailed information for over 150 key points of interest in the park as well as links to area businesses, from shopping, lodging, camping, and dining. GeoRoamer also has pre-preprogrammed tours from "Must See" to popular points of interest that the visitor can use as a starting point in creating a personalized tour of the park.
"We have been hearing from some of the early Yellowstone Park visitors using GeoRoamer that their experience was so much richer because they had GeoRoamer on their iPhone," said Stewart Dixon, CEO of VentureDNA. "We're excited to provide a cost-effective way to experience Yellowstone that educates adults and children alike while giving back to the non-profit organizations that support the park."
GeoRoamer is available in the Apple iTunes App Store now for $8.99 and includes scheduled updates at www.georoameryellowstone.com. Proceeds from the app will go to benefit three non-profit organizations (National Parks Conservation Association, The Nature Conservancy, Greater Yellowstone Coalition) selected by the benefactor of the development of GeoRoamer. Once downloaded, the app will work using GPS coordinates within Yellowstone National Park and will automatically play the audio tour upon approaching each of the over 150 waypoints in the system. The mobile app features the "must see" pre-programmed tour stops as well as giving the user the ability to program their own tour and journal their experience along the way including uploading photos and sharing on Facebook.
