The New iPass Offline Hotspot Finder: Asking for Directions Just Became Obsolete
Anyone who has ever found themselves in an unfamiliar place and needing Internet access can relate. When you're offline, it can be somewhat difficult to get the location information you need to find a nearby hotspot.
Relax. That's why iPass created the newest version of the Offline Hotspot Finder. It helps end users locate a hotspot wherever they are, whether they are online or not.
New and Cool
The newest Offline Hotspot Finder from iPass features incredible new capabilities that make it truly indispensable to the business traveler:
Downloadable MapQuest® Maps. Easily find your way to iPass venues and secondary locations when you're offline. Here's how it works: If you're offline, and have downloaded maps for the city you're searching in, you can click the View Offline Map button to get a static map of the hotspot you've selected on the Search Results tab.
Set Preferences. Configure how often your finder updates itself with the latest location data. Also, set displayed units to miles or kilometers, and enter your organization's proxy server settings, if applicable.
Location Keywords. Use this intelligent search feature to find nearby hotspots by hotel chain, restaurant, café name and more. Say you needed a caffeine boost in addition to an Internet connection. Once you'd selected your location and radius, you could enter "Starbucks" in the Location Keywords field to quickly focus your search on what you were really after.
Expand to Worldwide Region. Painlessly upgrade your Finder to encompass worldwide locations. For example, say you've previously downloaded the Finder for one specific region, such as the Americas, you can easily expand your searches to cover the world. Just click the Expand to Worldwide Region button.
Download Now! Download the new Offline Hotspot Finder today. The next time you hit the road, you'll be able to find a connection—no matter where business finds you.
