Hill Aevium Introduces Smart
Phone App for Colorado Skiers
Edwards, CO (Vocus) March 31, 2010 -- SkiQuest GPS, a new voice
guided mobile navigation system created exclusively for use with
smartphones including iPhone and
|
BlackBerry, is helping skiers and riders make the
most of every day on and off the slopes. Hill Aevium, an innovative
and award winning marketing, web design and digital communications
specialist located near Vail, Colorado designed all aspects of the
software (http://www.hillaevium.com) that included branding, website
design and development, e-commerce, and the app itself for Integrated
Device Applications with the goal of enhancing the ski experience
for destination visitors.
“Hill Aevium is proud to announce the release of SkiQuest
GPS -- the world’s first voice guided GPS application built
exclusively for smartphones. It has the potential to revolutionize
the skiing experience in Colorado,” said Linda Hill, President
of Hill Aevium.
According to Ryan Serpan, Vice President of Interactive Strategy
for Hill Aevium, “SkiQuest GPS is a great representation of
the power of mobile technology (http://www.skiquestgps.com) and
we were thrilled to be able to handle everything for the client,
from branding to the mobile application itself. This product places
tools and information directly in the hands of a target audience
and positions the client company ahead of their competition.”
SkiQuest GPS literally puts the mountain at skiers’ fingertips.
By combining GPS and smartphone (http://www.skiquestgps.com) technologies,
SkiQuest GPS instantly connects skiers with what they want most,
when they want it. Those looking for cruising corduroy, the thrills
of double black diamonds, or shortest route back to the lodge for
lunch can map their course turn-by-turn with SkiQuest GPS. In addition
to trail descriptions and maps, the easy to use voice guided app
allows users to plot routes by ability level, trail-to-trail or
place-to-place. SkiQuest GPS can also be a lifesaver. If necessary,
a GPS voice guiding system and an instant telephone connection to
the resort’s Ski Patrol guarantee a quick emergency response.
SkiQuest GPS has been available to skiers and riders at Beaver
Creek and Vail, two of Colorado’s most esteemed ski mountains,
since January 2010 and more Colorado resorts are expected to be
added in time for the 2010-11 ski season. With Hill Aevium’s
newly developed SkiQuest GPS, skiers and riders can turn smarter
on and off the slopes. For more information about Hill Aevium services,

|
| 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

500 shopping centers, and directory listings for over 100,000

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

and promotions going on at participating retailers or within
the shopping center.
"We were ecstatic to learn we would be part of the iPad®

indoor smart maps for malls.”

app, a wireless connection is not required to use the application
after the initial download of a map.

College Search Simplified,
a New Downloadable Book, Offers Help for Students Applying to College
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 26, 2010 -- Applying to colleges is
more than just putting together an
|
impressive application.
An entire process has to be taken into account before a student
even begins working on his or her admissions essay: deciding where
to apply.
It’s important to figure out what a student is looking to
find in a college and which universities fit his or her particular
profile. That’s why University Language Services (ULS) has
come up with something to make that process a little easier.
ULS created a guide (College Search Simplified) that facilitates
the process of systematically narrowing down a college for students.
This 63-page e-book helps students identify the factors that influence
their decision process.
The first section identifies the type of school they want to attend
through short quizzes that keep track of their preferences and focus
the search. The answers chosen determine the student’s needs,
sorting college options by location, size, academics, social life
and cost.
Afterward, the guide pulls everything together, matching the answers
chosen for the quizzes with available colleges to create a short
list of schools that would be perfect for that particular student.
College Search Simplified also contains additional information about
college visits, interviews and more.
Finding the right school can be a complicated and often daunting
task; however, after reading College Search Simplified and answering
the questions, students will have taken the first steps in finding
the ideal college for them.
