Hey, Brothers. Just wanted to put out some info on a smartphone app that I just bought. It is called Masonic Traveler USA. I know that it is on the iPhone, but it should also be available on the other smartphones as well. Completely awesome app.
If you are on the road and like to visit other lodges, this app comes in really handy. You can search for lodges by entering in a lodge name, city, or jurisdiction name. You can also search for lodges in an area by doing a "near me" search and it will come up with all the lodges within a specific radius from you.
You can set which lodges are your, and also when you visit a lodge you can click on the "Visited Lodge" button and you can enter in the date that you visited that lodge. Another thing that it can show a map showing all the lodges in the U.S.A. that you have visited. I don't know for sure about Canada or any other countries as I haven't done that yet. I think that you can get one for Canada, Mexico, and Europe, but again I am not sure about that as I don't go to those areas. Anyway, it is really neat cause it marks the lodges that you have visited on the map with the Square and Compasses.
Anyway, it is a really solid and nice app. Very easy to use. The only downside is that it is eight bucks. Kind of steep, but it is very informative. It even has the meeting night information as well as phone numbers and email addresses for a point of contact for the lodges.
Just to put it out there, I am in no way affiliated with the folks that put this app out. I just found a few weeks ago and wanted to share it with other Brothers as it has been really useful for me and wanted to recommend it to you guys if you have the eight bucks to throw on something like this. I am not big on buying apps on my iPhone, but this actually was a pretty good investment.
If anyone else has used this, please let me know what you think about it as well!!
