Cabela's Launches Hunting App for iPhone and Android Mobile Devices
Cabela's Incorporated (NYSE: CAB) and Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) have announced the release of the first mobile navigation application specifically designed for hunters. Developed by Trimble Outdoors, the Cabela's Recon Hunt app runs on iPhone and Android devices and provides hunters with a full lineup of outdoor and navigation features, including detailed topographical maps, point-to-point GPS navigation, a digital compass and weather forecasts.
"Cabela's Recon Hunt is the real deal," said Tom Rosdail, Cabela's vice president of marketing and licensing. "It's an impressive combination of Trimble Outdoors' expertise as a leader in GPS technology for phone apps and five decades of Cabela's experience as the World's Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear."
Rosdail said the app went through extensive field testing with some of Cabela's most active hunters.
The Recon Hunt app uses the GPS built into iPhones and Android-compatible devices, so no data or phone signal is needed for users to log their locations. Hunters can collect waypoints, tracks, photos, videos and audio clips in the field. The app tracks other essential hunting information too: weather, sun/moon phases, trip stats and ballistics data. Users also can view recommended gear lists and access the cabelas.com online store right from their phones.
"Recon Hunt answers many of the unique demands and navigation needs that hunters face in the field," said Rich Rudow, general manager for Trimble Outdoors. "It's been a pleasure to closely work with Cabela's to create such a useful app tailored for hunting."
The Cabela's Recon Hunt app is available now for $3.99 from the App Store on iPhone or at www.itunes.com/appstore. The app also is available for $3.99 from the Android Marketplace on Android-compatible phones or at www.android.com/market.
