Atlanta, GA – January 5, 2010 – Have you ever gotten off an interstate exit only to later realize a better one was a few miles down the road? If so, there’s now an iPhone app that makes sure that never happens again. Travel website Allstays.com, in partnership with Atlanta-based software company Metrocket, has created iExit, a interstate-based travel guide iPhone app.
iExit informs users which points of interest are coming up when driving on interstates in the continental United States. Using the iPhone’s location, iExit determines what points of interest are coming up soon and displays them in several user-friendly formats. Users can see all upcoming exits in either a list view or map view, or they can see only those points of interest they select as their “favorites.”
“I personally like knowing where the next Chick-fil-a is when I’m on the interstate,” says Metrocket founder, Evan Metrock. “iExit is designed to give me this information within seconds of loading up without a press of a button.” iExit stores its data locally on the iPhone, meaning it works even when the phone has no AT&T service. It also supports an offline mode that allows users to lookup points of interest at any exit on any interstate.
AllStays.com, the owner and data supplier of iExit, has been supplying travelers across the United States with high quality point of interest data for the past 10 years. “We are always looking for better ways to deliver our data to our customers,” explains Adam Longfellow, founder of Allstays.com. “We’ve had a mobile version of Allstays.com for years, making it easier for users to access our data from the road. Because of the iPhone’s location capabilities, we now have the ability to deliver precisely what users want to know at both their current and future locations.”
iExit is not yet available in Apple’s App Store, but is expected to be approved by Apple by the end of January, 2010. It will eventually be priced at $4.99, but for a limited introductory time, it will be priced at $2.99.
