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."
