What is Pingstreet?

Pingstreet is a free mobile app for mobile devices and provides Orillia residents/visitors with real-time access to helpful information using engaging tools. The app is GPS based so it knows where you are currently located and relays requested information accordingly. By leveraging existing data the process of making information available to mobile users is streamlined, time-efficient, and cost-effective.

What are its features?
