MSP’s new mobile application, goHow Airport, is available for free download onto iPhone and BlackBerry devices.the app is scheduled to be available for Android devices as well.
“These new technologies enable us to personalize each traveler’s airport experience by presenting information in ways relevant to that person’s individual interests and needs,” said Jeff Hamiel, executive director of the Metropolitan Airports Commission.
“The mobile app and touch-screen directories map the way to your gate, show what shops, restaurants and services are in the vicinity, tell you how many minutes away each location is, and offer search or filter functions so you can find food items, merchandise or services of particular interest to you,” Hamiel said. “Our goal is to provide one of the best airport experiences in the nation by placing the travel information you need right at your fingertips.”
Both devices include:
• Information on airport shops, restaurants, services and other amenities
• Flight information
• Hotel and ground transportation options
• Menus for MSP’s full-service restaurants
• Airport maps and walk times to chosen points of interest
• Airport news, deals and events
• Weather information
• Airline information for scheduling or rebooking a flight
• Search or filtering features
The goHow Airport mobile app even allows travelers to rate airport shops, restaurants and services – and to see how others have rated them. Unlike other travel apps, goHow Airport’s data about Minneapolis-St. Paul International – including real-time parking information -- is provided and managed directly by the Metropolitan Airports Commission, helping ensure it is the most accurate and up-to-date available.
goHow Airport offers information on dozens of other airports around the world as well. Using this one application, travelers can plan their travels from their originating airport, through their connecting airport, and on to their destination. Through the device, you can get travel alerts regarding changes in your flight or gate as well as regarding circumstances at the airport that could impact your trip.
MSP’s goHow Airport feature is available through an agreement between the Metropolitan Airports Commission and Simat, Helliesen & Eichner, Inc. (SH&E), a leading aviation consulting firm with locations in Boston, Chicago, New York City and London. SH&E has partnered with Boston-based SapientNitro, an interactive marketing, creative design and technology services agency, to create the goHow Airport mobile app.
The airport’s new interactive kiosks were developed with the services of Alive Promo, a Minneapolis-based company focusing on digital signage solutions.
new Digital Concierge program features two four-sided digital touch screen directories located at either end of the MSP airport mall in Terminal 1-Lindbergh. The program can be expanded in the future to provide additional interactive directories in other areas of the airport.

Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.
ReplyDeleteI had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.
I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).
Reasons I chose them over the others:
1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.
How did they do it
1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.
My Experience
I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!
