GolfTraxx minimizes total cost of ownership for its customers by providing free golf course hole-by-hole GPS coordinate data for 20,000 courses in US and Canada, which can be directly downloaded to PDA devices via GPRS or WIFI access as part of its voice-powered, 100% open standards Golf GPS solution for TREO 650, Palm One, Palm Life Drive, and Pocket PC with built-in Voice Response.

Danville, CA (PRWEB) June 27, 2006 -- GolfTraxx has extended its lead over its competitors in reducing total cost of ownership for its customers by providing free golf course hole-by-hole GPS coordinate data for 20,000 courses in US and Canada, which can be directly downloaded to PDA devices via GPRS or WIFI access as part of its voice-powered, 100% open standards Golf GPS solution for TREO 650, Palm One, Palm Life Drive, and Pocket PC with built-in Voice Response. The GolfTraxx solution enables golf enthusiasts to measure distances accurately from anywhere on the planet that the GPS receives a signal.

GolfTraxx state-of-the art golf GPS solution features integrated 2-way voice communication between player and device. GolfTraxx has also incorporated a SiRF STAR III wireless bluetoothä GPS receiver into this fully-integrated Golf GPS solution. Upon command, GolfTraxx accurately calculates golf shot distances anywhere in the world where the GPS can capture coordinates. A professionally recorded female voice tells you the distances to multiple targets on every hole… including front, center and back of each green. GolfTraxx will capture the club used and lie for each shot. After the round, GolfTraxx exports all shot data to your desktop computer.

“Our partnership with PDAzip.com enables all of our customers, including trial users, to download all course information within a particular zip code for FREE directly to their PDA device in a single click. This includes hole-by-hole GPS coordinates…**” said Frank DeBenedetti, founder of GolfTraxx. “Most of our competitors charge as much as $12.95 per course. GolfTraxx also de-couples the GPS, thereby enabling customers to replace only the GPS (versus replacing the entire unit) when a more advanced GPS becomes available. As a result, our customers now enjoy lowest cost-of-ownership, by having FREE access to hole-by-hole scorecard and GPS data and lowest equipment replacement cost.”

GolfTraxx offers free downloads of trial versions of the software for Palm, TREO 650, and Pocket PC on their website. GolfTraxx offers free downloads of over 20,000 course scorecards in their database directly to PDA devices. GPS coordinates are available for many of these courses for free to all GolfTraxx users. GolfTraxx’ competitors require their customers to purchase each course separately. GolfTraxx offers various bundled solutions between $149.95-$199.95. If you already have a bluetooth GPS receiver, GolfTraxx can be purchased stand-alone for $29.00.
