SD GPS
 iGolf Technologies today announced its new $299 SD GPS card. It should work on all SD compatible Palm OS PDA's, and should you switch to the other side, it will work with Pocket PC's. Because the Treo 600 has an SDIO slot, the SD GPS card should also work with the Treo 600; iGolf told us that they are working with Handspring to ensure compatibility between the SD GPS and the Treo 600. Currently the only GPS solution for the Treo is the Mapopolis sold Holux GPS mouse. The Holux unit is external, and has a mess of cables attached to it. This device should integrate into the Treo 600 much better, while using the same great Mapopolis software.
From the PR:
"When purchasing the SD GPS package, consumers will receive two software applications, which are compatible with Palm OS and Pocket PC devices. iGolfgps provides golfers with distance measurements to the front, center and back of the green. This software allows the user to select four customizable locations, measure drive distance from the tee and includes an optional scorecard for up to four players. Mapopolis provides navigation and driving directions for a specific region. Palm OS and Pocket PC users will enjoy a detailed map of their selected region, maps of the national highways, door-to-door driving directions, streets with addresses, cities, water features, landmarks and GPS support.
“Our GPS package is a tremendous value to our consumer. We have integrated three desirable products into one incredible, affordable package,” said Dan Galatro, Vice President of Operations for iGolf Technologies. “Furthermore, this comprehensive package allows merchandisers to inventory only one item, as opposed to the five items required if sold individually.” The SD GPS package is currently available for pre-order; however, actual shipment is not expected until October 27, 2003. “We are encouraging all consumers to act quickly,” stated Galatro. “We have a limited supply on hand to fulfill the first wave of orders.” Interested consumers can reserve their package by going here."
