GLA adds Smart Phone Application

Tad Jones Article for 12/14/10

            The Grand Lake Association is constantly trying to provide new services for our members and we have recently launched a new application which will help area business be found more easily.

            As you know, we launched a new website this summer with more pictures and more information on our members.  Today’s mobile traveler wants to have that information at their fingertips and as readily available as possible and there are more and more people relying on their smart phones to gather information.

            That is why we now have a mobile friendly application for our website.  If you have a smart-phone, like a blackberry or an I-phone, you can now easily maneuver our website with your mobile device.  Simply type in our website, www.grandlakefun.com, into your smart phone and you will be able to see the new application.

            The smart-phone app will show a larger tab for “Where to Stay,” “Where to Eat,” “Local Services” etc., and if you have your own page on our website, it will also show the rotating pictures on their mobile phone as well as any pertinent information that you might want listed.

The mobile app will also have a map feature so if a person is looking for a place to eat or shop, the map will show up with a dot so they can more readily find a business.   If someone can get a phone signal on the lake they will even be able to find the closest marina or restaurant.

            We are constantly trying to make upgrades so we can meet the needs of our members and visitors that will be coming to the area and the smart-phone application will help.

            If you have any questions you can contact us a 786-2289, info@glaok.com or visit our website at www.grandlakefun.com.
