Kayak Chooses Point Inside as One of Their “Apps We Like”

Good news travelers!  Kayak, the world’s leading travel search site, has chosen Point Inside’s free mobile application, “Maps for Airports and Malls”, for inclusion in its in-app referral list of useful travel apps.  This short list of apps is meant to provide Kayak users easy access to other travel-oriented apps Kayak recommends.  The referral list is currently available in Kayak’s iPhone, iPod touch and iPad apps.  From the Kayak app users can jump directly to the iTunes store to download Point Inside, or, if it’s already installed, invoke the app directly.

The benefits to Kayak’s users of using Point Inside’s Indoor Smart Maps™ are numerous.  With over 70 airport maps there’s wide coverage, and Point Inside is the only mobile app to offer detailed, interactive, INDOOR maps of airport terminals, in conjunction with an auto-location feature.  Point Inside users can search for items in any terminal, or interact directly with the airport map to get more information.  Once a destination is selected, it’s highlighted by a pin on the map, like users have come to expect from “outdoor” mobile maps.   This highlighting allows each person to “customize” the map based on his or her immediate need, whether that’s quickly finding the nearest restroom, or determining what restaurants are on the way to their connecting gate.

Point Inside users can also see their own true positions on the indoor maps by using SmartFix™, Point Inside’s proprietary indoor location method.  SmartFix determines the user’s location by using GPS, cell towers or WiFi.  However, if these methods are inaccurate, as is often the case indoors, SmartFix prompts the user to provide her own position by selecting a nearby landmark.  Knowing where you are relative to where you need to go can help you ease the anxiety of travel.  And knowing what amenities are nearby or on your way can help you make better, faster decisions.

In a quid pro quo, Point Inside is also offering its users immediate access to the Kayak app, with a link from the “Info” tab within each Airport.  We’re happy to be working with Kayak to offer this convenience to users of both apps!
