GolfTraxx Releases Latest Software for Pocket PC's and Windows Mobile Devices

DANVILLE, CA (PRWeb) March 5, 2007 -- GolfTraxx (http://golftraxx.com) latest software release for Pocket PC's and Windows Mobile devices now selects the appropriate club for you to hit, based on your game, after determining the remaining distance to the target. "GolfTraxx users can always update the club selection GolfTraxx makes, said Frank DeBenedetti, founder of GolfTraxx, "but initial reports are that GolfTraxx gets it right 80-90% of the time, after users have configured GolfTraxx for their clubs. More importantly, automatic club selection means that most shots can be played with just two clicks on your PDA device. This makes far easier to use on the course without holding up play."

The GolfTraxx database contains hole-by-hole information for over 21,000 courses in across the globe, several hundred of which already contain GPS coordinates, and all of which can be downloaded to PDA devices via GPRS or WIFI access. Free course data is an integral part of the GolfTraxx voice-enabled, 100% open standards Golf GPS solution for Garmin Ique, TREO, Palm One, Palm LifeDrive, Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, and Windows Mobile 5.

GolfTraxx offers a course mapping guide http://pdazip.com/MappingCourses.pdf , through which golfers can quickly and easily map their favorite courses using Google Earth, then submit the Google Earth .kml file to GolfTraxx for addition into the GolfTraxx on-line database and credit towards free GolfTraxx gear.

Once coordinates have been added to the GolfTraxx database, GolfTraxx users can then download the course directly to their device and receive yardages to reach (and to carry) each of the targets mapped for a particular hole in a single click. GolfTraxx' competitors use difficult to understand abbreviations for these additional targets and force their customers to scroll through a list of these waypoints one-by-one to find the appropriate waypoint for a particular hole.

In a single click from the main Play Golf menu, GolfTraxx accurately calculates golf shot distances anywhere in the world where the GPS can capture coordinates, then selects the appropriate club for the player. A professionally recorded female voice tells you the distances to multiple targets on every hole… including front, center and back of each green and distance of the previous shot. In another single click from the same menu, users receive distances to-reach and to-carry any other waypoint on the hole. GolfTraxx captures the club used and lie for each shot.

"Ease of use is critical to the GolfTraxx long-term strategy, since speed-of-play is so important to the sport," said Frank DeBenedetti, founder of GolfTraxx. "For us, that translates into minimizing the number of clicks required to play any shot. In our latest release for Pocket PC and Windows Mobile, the required clicks/shot has been decreased by nearly 80% to just 2 clicks. We challenge any of our competitors to make the same claim. In addition, GolfTraxx now provides an up-to-the minute scorecard, plus statistics such as greens-in-regulation, putts/hole, putts/GIR, and a scoring breakdown/hole (eagles, birdies, pars, bogeys, worse). And of course, GolfTraxx still makes all visually verified hole-by-hole GPS coordinates available for FREE download… usually on the same day the course is submitted, while our competitors charge a recurring annual fee for the data, or charge separately per course. Our belief is that GPS coordinate data should be available for FREE, but most of our competitors do not even supply the actual coordinates, even after you have paid for the courses. Google Earth data is also far more accurate than our competitors' data since it does not rely on manually collected GPS points. As a result, our customers now enjoy far greater ease-of-use, accuracy and far lower cost-of-ownership, through FREE access to hole-by-hole scorecard data and FREE GPS coordinate data for direct download to their PDA."

GolfTraxx offers FREE downloads of trial versions of the software for Palm One, TREO 650, TREO 700P, TREO 700W, Palm LifeDrive, Windows Mobile, Garmin Ique, and Pocket PC on their website. GolfTraxx offers FREE downloads of over 20,000 course scorecards in their on-line database directly to PDA devices. GPS coordinates are already included with hundreds of these courses for FREE to all GolfTraxx users. GolfTraxx' competitors require their customers to purchase courses separately. GolfTraxx offers various bundled solutions between $79.00-$599.95. If you already have a bluetooth GPS receiver, or all-in-one Windows Mobile device GolfTraxx can be purchased stand-alone for $29.00.
