BC-PGA Home to Install Comprehensive Wi-Fi Enabled GPS Solution
Vancouver, Canada, April 20, 2006 – GPS Industries Inc. (OTCBB:GPSN), the leading innovator of Wi-Fi enabled GPS communications for golf facilities and residential communities, is pleased to announce that one of Canada’s premier golf communities, Morgan Creek, has contracted to install the InforemerTM GPS Golf Management System. The $254,000.00 sale will see the entire fleet of 84 carts customized with full-color, interactive display screens.
"One of the things that is so remarkable about the Inforemer system is the sheer quality of their graphic display," says Morgan Creek’s Director of Golf, Wayne Vollmer. "The renderings of the holes are spectacular, the best I’ve ever seen."
In addition to GPS Industries patented distance measuring technology, the InforemerTM System incorporates a full suite of management tools and wireless (Wi-Fi) communications options. "Obviously we wanted this system to enhance the golf experience for our players, but the management systems are just as important. The Inforemer system helps us dramatically improve efficiency throughout the facility. It’s tremendous!" He cites one example: "We host a lot of events here and the tournament scoring module will help us deliver perfectly accurate results almost instantly. So instead of tying up a staff Professional for two hours, we’ll have scoring wrapped up in two minutes."
Morgan Creek is taking further advantage of the dazzling color display screens through the sale of on-screen advertising messages. The results are impressive, as Vollmer explains: "Even before the system had been installed we pre-sold about a third of all the ad packages available. That’s more than $60,000.00 in new revenue!"
Bob Silzer, President and CEO of GPSI says, "Morgan Creek is one of the most prestigious communities in Greater Vancouver and their golf course is consistently regarded as one of the finest in the country. All of us at GPS Industries are thrilled to welcome them as a customer.
