Simultravel GPS (http://www.simultravel.com) is a new iPhone hotel
reservation application with interactive maps. It’s available for
US$0.99 at the Apple App Store
(http://www.apple.com/iphone/appstore); there’s also a free “lite”
version.
Simultravel locates hotels within the desired area, displays pricing
information, and enables instant conversation with a live travel
agent. It offers access to rates from over 38,000 hotels across the
world and uses the Priceline Partner Network.
“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,” says David Saitta, president of Simultravel
Inc. “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.”
