CUPERTINO, CA (March 17, 2008) – Never-Search, Inc. creators of the most comprehensive array of golf course information ever assembled has received a patent on its Never-Search for Golf™ golf specific travel map. The patent covers the method and system for organizing and controlling the display of information on a geographic map, where “qualitative” information is displayed directly on the map for multiple points of interest (POI’s) simultaneously.
“The full and robust content of this golf travel planning tool gives golfers and businesses a unique, powerful and customizable approach for locating and finding information about any course in the U.S.,” said Keith Kreft, President, Never-Search, Inc. “The technology allows users to view multiple locations on the map and effectively and efficiently put together a travel itinerary that meets their specific needs. There is no other golf travel mapping program that has these unique capabilities.”
The Never-Search for Golf travel map is available in both a Personal and a Business Edition. The Personal Edition travel map includes all 18,475 golf courses in the nation with detailed information on each, along with driving ranges, golf stores and 9,000 golf instructors; all accurately mapped. Golf course information includes type of course, number of holes, par, yardage, slope and rating, greens fee range, course designer, Golf Digest ratings, driving range availability, and more. Contact information includes phone numbers and website links. The map can be used to easily and effortlessly plan golf trips for business and leisure, and includes other locations that are of interest to travelers such as airports, lodging, coffee shops and restaurants.
The Business Edition is designed for golf industry personnel needing to efficiently locate, qualify and contact golf facilities in new or unfamiliar areas. Business information includes; phone numbers, fax numbers, website links, email addresses, mailing addresses, rounds played, golf professionals, managers, owners, superintendents, management companies, and other staff members. Businesses are accurately mapped to driveway entrances while the business data is linked to mapped locations. There’s no need to rely on inaccurate or undependable Internet mapping.
With this program, travel plans can be saved and re-opened later to fill-in other trip details. This interactive planning tool also provides users with collaborative features. It allows users to provide feedback to Never-Search directly from the map. Locations can be adjusted, information can be updated, and “cool” intriguing and favorite places can be added, giving visitors to the area “insider information” on the best places to go while in town.
All the data that appears on the map is downloaded and updated from the Never-Search.com Internet site. This fully featured travel map performs routing, provides driving directions, and when connected to any commonly available PC-USB GPS receiver (“G-Mouse”), shows where you are on the map as you’re traveling.
Never-Search offers a free 30-day trial for users. All data is updateable from the Never-Search.com website and is available in personal or business editions. Once you have registered and downloaded the latest golf data, it works with or without an Internet connection. The purchase price includes free updates of all the data for one year.
