Expodition Launches Website for iPod Users Who Love to Travel

April 11, 2006 - Press Dispensary - With the summer holiday season fast approaching, Expodition (http://www.expodition.com), a website for iPod users who love to travel, launches today and introduces a new type of content designed for iPods called Pod SnapShots.

Thanks to Expodition, travellers planning their expeditions to the UK can download a tailor-made Pod SnapShot covering the area they'll be visiting on to their iPod for viewing when they arrive. Pod SnapShots (PSS) take the mantle from Podcasts and RSS feeds with individually tailored and delivered content.

Visitors to the Expodition website can set up a profile of themselves - including their favourite food and whether they like visiting museums, night clubs, pubs, wine bars, theatres, cinemas, etc. The visitor can then create a PSS for a specific place by entering a UK post code. The Pod SnapShot contains information relevant to the visitor's profile ? for example, if the profile says shopping, eating Thai food and dancing are favourite pastimes, then the PSS will include details of Thai restaurants, shopping facilities and nightclubs near the intended destination.

Pod SnapShots also contain general information about the chosen area such as nearby tourist information, transport links, local taxis and mini cabs, hotels, banks, cash points, bureaux de change, eating and drinking, etc.

Rod Cambridge, founder of Expodition, comments: ?With Expodition, we wanted to provide a service that works with a device many travellers can?t bear to be without. On a recent trip to the US, I was surprised by the number of people I saw in the airport using iPods. With Pod SnapShots, people can accumulate first hand knowledge of a particular destination and its amenities and attractions before they even get there. We hope the service will appeal to tourists and also people living in and travelling around the UK.?

A PSS Directory on the Expodition website allows tourists and travellers to download Pod SnapShots which they will find useful on their travels, free of charge. These SnapShots contain information such as opening times and entry costs for popular attractions, stores and venues, as well as other information that will help plan a visit.
The directory is growing continuously and even contains a PSS on the London Congestion Charge so tourists reach the capital prepared.

Pod SnapShots work with all iPods that use the Notes feature. This includes iPod mini, nano, photo, video and 3rd generation iPods. iPod Shuffle and older iPods that do not use Notes are not supported.
