PLANO, Texas, Apr 03, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Navigation Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz Corporation, is debuting custom iPhone city travel apps for Dallas-Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami-West Palm, New York, Sacramento-Northern California, Orlando, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area, Boston and Washington, D.C. The first app, available in the iTunes store, is free.
Business or leisure travelers can search each app's customized content and use cutting edge technology to plan trips and explore cities in a fun and unexpected way.
The app features augmented reality, customized voice narratives and text descriptions for must-see sites, tours, shopping, neighborhoods, favorites and restaurants, 5-day weather forecasts, and a way to share your experience via Facebook and Twitter. A simple click of the app launches six categories: Explore/Top Must See/Events/Favorites/Tours and Neighborhoods. From there, travelers can:
-- Rediscover a city with My Explore’s unique tours. In Dallas, follow the footsteps of notorious outlaws “Bonnie and Clydeâ€. Or, in San Francisco visit the Alcatraz tour.
-- Explore niche neighborhoods like New York’s Little Italy to discover that quaint shop or cozy Italian restaurant.
-- Take advantage of a short business trip by finding a trendy restaurant to impress clients or visit must-see attractions like Boston’s Fanueil Hall, as well as special events, updated weekly.

By taking a holistic approach to the travel technology category we are able to enhance our customer service beyond the car, making our Hertz NeverLost suite of services a complete travel solution that surpasses the competition,†says Roger A.
