The world leader in travel resources - AAA - is now accessible via the Blackberry, specifically the 8830 and the 8130. AAA Mobile, downloadable through the Blackberry's GPS app and powered by Networks in Motion, now makes the world's favorite handy devices even handier, adding the following of its services to its menu:
- TourBook Guide Travel Information
- Navigation
- Member Roadside Assistance
This makes the RIM Blackberry the first smartphone device compatible with AAA's award-winning local search and navigation applications. Even Blackberry users who aren't AAA members can still subscribe to AAA Mobile and get access to:
- audio/visual directions to any U.S. destination
- the locations of AAA-approved POIs (points of interest)
- the locations of Diamond Rated restaurants and hotels
- a searchable listing of more than 100,000 destinations that offer member savings to those who present their AAA or AAA Mobile card
- detailed maps of all of the above
- bookmarking features
The service also streamlines the process of using AAA roadside assistance by transmitting one's location via their GPS to the nearest AAA-approved responder.
