Garmin chooses StarCaddy Golf Software for 
launch of first GPS-Enabled PDA


LinksPoint's Leading Golf GPS Software Included as Third-Party Application for iQue 3600 Handheld  

Las Vegas, Nevada (January 8, 2003) - LinksPoint today announced that its StarCaddy golf GPS system is a featured application on Garmin International Inc.'s newly unveiled iQue 3600, the first consumer personal digital assistant (PDA) with built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities. 

Garmin's iQue 3600 is the first PDA to be distributed with StarCaddy, the leading handheld golf GPS application. Using the iQue's integrated GPS functionality, StarCaddy pinpoints a golfer's exact position on a digital map of the course and provides accurate distance measurements to the center of the green and other course features like doglegs, sandtraps and water. StarCaddy helps golfers pick the right club, avoid hazards and improve their overall game. Users will be able to download a free trial StarCaddy map for use on a course of their choice from the StarCaddy directory.

"StarCaddy adds a new dimension of functionality to Garmin's exciting iQue 3600," said Strite Potter, President of LinksPoint. "GPS allows this device to transcend the ordinary PDA to offer benefits that set it apart from any other handheld, like navigation, and now, GPS-based golf yardages."
