Tourbook Travel Info on the Road

This year, members will request more than 20 million TourBook guides and read more than 24 million AAA.com TourBook listings. And now, the Number 1 resource members use to make travel plans and decisions - AAA TourBook information - is also available through portable devices like cell phones and global positioning system (GPS) units. Read on for a tour of additional ways to stay connected to AAA travel information, wherever you go.

If you have Internet access on your cell phone, PDA, or BlackBerry, visit AAA.Mobi for TourBook information any time, with no registration or subscription. The listings are formatted for easy reading on small handheld screens. AAA.Mobi also offers written turn-by-turn driving directions and the toll-free number for AAA member roadside assistance.

For a cellular connection that includes GPS technology, subscribe to AAA.Mobi through your wireless carrier. Find TourBook listings, member savings, and Approved Auto Repair facilities based on the exact location of your cell phone, and use the audible turn-by-turn navigation instructions to guide the way. Members also enjoy one-button access to AAA member roadside assistance. Visit www.AAA.com/AAAMobile for a list of participating carriers and phones.

Several GPS units from Magellan Navigation Inc. feature built-in AAA travel information for integrated road-trip navigation.
