Map Draw For IPad Released - Touch Technology Places The World At Your Fingertips - Literally
Online, September 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Fishington Studios announced last week that it has released Map Draw to the iTunes App Store. Map Draw is the company's latest iPad application in a series of health, fitness and productivity apps.
"Initially inspired by iRunLog, we decided to create a map tracking application that could meet the needs of a diverse user base and which would be useful in not just one, but a variety of situations," stated Founder and CEO of Fishington Studios, Chris Flammer. "As a result, Map Draw was born". This application can be used for fitness training such as tracking a run or biking route or for social or business purposes that can range from coordinating a hike, planning a road trip, finding directions to a business meeting and much, much more.
Offering features that no other application available on the iPad market today can compete with, Map Draw allows users to create their own routes and maps directly on the iPad. With just the touch of a finger, users can track and save distances, routes and plans. All maps can be drawn on freehand and then exported, making it the ideal tool for anyone looking for a mobile and versatile navigation tracking system. All entries are stored in a professional and elegant journal-style interface on the device and no uploading to or downloading from a website is needed.
"Whether you are a runner, biker, businessman, student, parent, world traveler or just an average Joe, we have no doubt you will find this app to be an invaluable tool" Flammer concluded.
Simple and Intuitive, Map Draw utilizes touch technology so users can map routes with just the touch of a finger. This touch system makes plotting a route easy and accurate, and total distance is automatically stored, making this the perfect tool for dynamically mapping a route or run on the iPad.
