GolfLogix GPS Golf Application Now Available on BlackBerry®
Bold™ Smartphone
GolfLogix Adds BlackBerry Bold to Supported Cell Phones; Offers
Golfers Best-Selling Golf GPS Application Right on Their Phones
Scottsdale, Arizona - July
29, 2009 GolfLogix Golf GPS cell phone application is now available for
a free trial on the BlackBerry® Bold™ at
www.GolfGPS.com. GolfLogix has added
the BlackBerry Bold smartphone to its list of supported cell phones for
its Golf GPS distance and stat-tracking application. Golfers downloading
GolfLogix to their BlackBerry Bold will enjoy a 24-hour Guest Membership
and get instant distances to the front, center and back of the greens as
well as layups and major hazards on over 24,000 professionally mapped
golf courses worldwide. In addition to the distance information, golfers
will have access to GolfLogix-patented scoring and statistic technology
and can track their fairways hit, greens in regulation, distances of
each club and more, just like a Golf Pro. The BlackBerry Bold smartphone
offers a large color screen, extended battery life and WI-FI
connectivity for faster downloads.
The GolfLogix Smartphone Golf GPS application was
first introduced in early July with availability on the BlackBerry®
Curve™ Smartphone models. "The response has been tremendous and we will
be rapidly adding supported Smartphones over the next month. Our
objective is to have our GolfLogix Golf GPS application available on all
of the most popular GPS-enabled cellphones by the end of the summer,"
stated Scott Lambrecht CEO of GolfLogix, Inc. "Since golfers are
bringing their cellphones onto the golf course anyway, it just makes
sense for them to use their GPS-enabled phones with our golf
application." The company is the first in the Golf GPS handheld market
to offer its golf application on the world's best-selling Smartphones
Over the next several weeks the Company plans to
announce free trial downloads for the BlackBerry Tour, the BlackBerry
Storm, the Apple iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and more. Verizon Wireless only
allows third-party GPS applications such as GolfLogix on the Verizon
BlackBerry® Storm™ 9530 and BlackBerry® Tour™ 9630. To accommodate
Verizon users, GolfLogix will have these models available by early
August.
Although golfers can download the GolfLogix
application at anytime, the 24-hour Guest Membership will not start
until they actually begin a round of golf by selecting the tee box they
are starting on. After the Guest Membership, golfers are cordially
invited to become a GolfLogix Annual Member for $39.95. GolfLogix Annual
Membership includes unlimited access to see distances on more than
24,000 golf courses worldwide, distance of clubs, scoring and stat
tracking both on a Smartphone and on a personalized statistical website
at GolfLogix.com, plus valuable discounts on must-have Smartphone
accessories. "We saw a need for a feature-rich Golf GPS application that
went beyond the basic scorecard and limited hole-image apps that are out
there now," stated Lambrecht. GolfLogix has more than 10 years of
experience in Golf GPS technology and golf applications.
GolfLogix plans to continue to promote its widely
popular GPS-8 which is a standalone handheld GPS device manufactured by
Garmin that is loaded with GolfLogix software. It allows golfers to see
convenient distance measurements on a large, easy-to-read screen. The
GPS-8 retails for $299.95, includes one free golf course download and
unlimited golf courses worldwide for an annual membership of $29.95. "We
realize that there is always going to be a segment of golfers that wants
simple distances on a standalone GPS device with no Smartphone
capabilities. With our GPS-8, golfers just turn it on and play golf.
It's 100% automatic," adds Lambrecht. "GolfLogix on GPS-enabled
Smartphones allows us to address a new spectrum of golfers that are
on-the-go and want an all-in-one device."
