Passport America Members March_April 2011 Newsletter

Dear Member,

All of us here at Passport America greatly appreciate your support and hope you have had a great time traveling and camping this Spring of 2011! This is our first newsletter for the new year, and we are very happy to finally announce the release of our newest cell phone app for the Windows Phone 7.

Like our website and apps for the Android and iPhone (also used on iPad and iPod Touch), the WP7 app provides direct access to our most current campground directory information. Now with over 1,650 participating parks, that means even more participating campground directory changes are being made daily. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly more beneficial for our members to acquire our affiliated campground information online. Plus, the benefits provided by the ease of calling and locating functions make the cell phone apps especially useful.

Learn more about our newest app, and find out more about one of our fantastic affiliated parks, Hi-Way Haven. Also, get information about directory updates, and more!

Thanks again for your support! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments regarding our services. Also, if you are driving along I-10 in South Mississippi, stop by and visit with us! We look forward to meeting you.

We are very happy to announce the FREE Passport America app for Windows Phone 7™. The app is another great way for easily locating Passport America Participating Parks with your cell phone. It works similarly to our website, but has the additional capability of finding your current location and showing you parks in your vicinity. Read all about it on our website, or go to the Microsoft's Windows Mobile 7™ OS Market and search for Passport America to download your app for free!

Directory Updates

Now you have a couple ways to acquire updates regarding Passport America Participating Parks. For a printer friendly “print and go” version, just go to the campground section of our website and click on “directory updates”. Here is a quick link. Then, at the top of the page you will find the link for the printable directory update for our latest printed camping guide. Want just an “at a glance” list of new, cancelled, or just general park changes? You can find that on the website in the campgrounds section also. We do not recommend printing these lists, but they are still good for a quick list of new or cancelled PA Discount locations.
