Subaru of America via Chimani is offering 59 mobile app travel guides – one for each of the 59 national parks. The national park apps are said to eliminate wasteful paper guides in the latest twist on the expansion of the digital world.
“We began developing the national park apps in 2010 to address the need for better access to park information, while also understanding the cellular connectivity issue most parks face,” said Kerry Gallivan, CEO of Chimani.
It’s said that each of the national park apps includes curated, original content covering hiking trails and points of interest, park facilities, along with GPS-enabled maps that work without a cell or Wi-Fi connection.
“As we enter the one hundredth year of the national parks, Subaru remains as committed as ever to help park visitors make the most of their trips to our national treasures, while also educating them on the need to keep them clean and beautiful for the next generation,” said Alan Bethke, senior vice president of marketing at Subaru of America.
Each of the 59 national park apps and the flagship National Parks app by Chimani, which includes an overview of all 411 national parks, are available for free download in the App Store, Google Play, and Amazon Appstore.
