Subject:      VanAlert App for Vanagon Owners...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

The VanAlert App for Vanagon Owners is now available on the Google Play Store for Android Devices!

App Page Here: https://goo.gl/HDW52V

I created an App for Vanagon Owners... It's now listed on the Play Store for Android Devices. Currently waiting on Apple Store Approval which should be in the next couple of days.

It'll have a lot of crowdsourced content including Repair Shops that other owners recommend. If you breakdown, open the app and it'll list nearby shops based on your GPS location that other owners have submitted.

Another feature is the Stolen Van Alert. This Alert will notify all VanAlert users via a PUSH notification when a Vanagon is stolen in your city/state complete with van details, license number and photos. Kinda like an Amber Alert but for Vanagons in order to get every available van owner in your general vicinity to help keep an eye out for it.

A Driveway Camp section that will act much like the Repair Shops Listing. As your traveling you can open the app and it'll show you all the closest Driveway Camp spots that people have offered including what amenities they offer Driveway/ Curb Space/ Shore Power/ Shower/ Tools etc. No specific addresses are listed. It's based on zip codes then once you find one you contact them directly via phone/text/email which is listed in order to ask about availability.

The app is still in its infancy stages so there will be some tweaking here and there throughout the app but as it stands now its operable and ready to be populated with your input.

Thanks! Abel Longoria
