iGolf Technologies today announced they
will begin distributing and selling a SD GPS receiver with their proprietary SD
GPS driver exclusively for the Treo 650. According to iGolf the SD GPS receiver is the most
convenient way to obtain GPS functionality using the Treo 650 and extensive
testing has proven flawless compatibility. In addition to the SD GPS receiver,
the package will also include a complimentary copy of iGolfgps v.2 and a
discount link for Mapopolis Navigator.
Currently, the SD GPS receiver only functions with iGolf
Technologies iGolfgps v.2 and Mapopolis Navigator. iGolfgps v.2 provides golfers
with accurate distance measurements to the front, center and back of a green and
four customizable points, such as water and sand hazards. Additionally, a
scorecard for up to four golfers is included, complete with playerÂ’s statistics
and real time scoring.
Mapopolis Navigator (sold separately) provides spoken and visual navigation
prompts before each turn and generates routes in the United States, Canada and
Western Europe.
Additional GPS software, developed by iGolf Technologies or
provided by other developers, will become available in the future. Developers
who would like their software compatible with the SD GPS receiver, may contact
iGolf Technologies to inquire further.
Recently Doug
Marks, a satisfied iGolf Technologies customer, stated, "With the 650, the card
works perfectly, and I'm loving life. I tried it out several times yesterday,
and in the car I have several satellites in view at all times. It works
flawlessly".
The package can initially be purchased directly from
the TreoCentral
Store or from iGolf Technologies for $249.99. The SD GPS receiver
cannot be purchased without the included software. Please note this package is
only for the Treo 650 and quantities are currently limited.
