Austin, Texas – January 27, 2006 – UpLink Corporation, the fastest growing GPS golf solutions provider, announces that its INOVA GPS Golf Business Solution is now available for any golf course using any manufacturer’s golf cart. Recently introduced with the world’s first dashview widescreen GPS display available for select Club Car vehicles, the INOVA product family has expanded to include a large widescreen roofview display option, available for any make or model of golf cart, such as Club Car, EZ-GO and Yamaha.

A complete GPS golf business and vehicle tracking solution, INOVA offers a number of industry firsts for courses looking for new ways to stay competitive:
"While attracting golfers with an unforgettable experience, INOVA gets right down to business controlling costs, increasing sales and creating completely new profit centers," comments Glenn A. Pierce, Jr., president and CEO of UpLink. "From converting walkers to riders, raising green and cart fees and increasing rounds per day to improved food, beverage and merchandise sales and new GPS advertising revenue, INOVA impacts the bottom line everywhere across the course."
"A key golf course profit center, tournament bookings are one area where the large widescreen displays are sure to have an impact," adds Mike Cronin, senior vice president of sales with UpLink. "Players love the live leaderboard feature, which corporate tournament organizers say is one of the main reasons they re-book outings at courses with GPS. With the larger and easier-to-view display areas and new scrolling functionality, INOVA’s live leaderboard is sure to be an even more engaging tournament marketing tool."
