TRANSPLANT GPS OFFERS 3 NEW PRODUCTS FOR PDAs & LAPTOPS:
1. "CF Primum" Compact Flash GPS
2. Voice-Command PDA Navigation
3. "Trine" Bluetooth GPS
ROCHESTER, MINN.--Transplant GPS has introduced three new products that
easily turn PDAs -- and sometime laptops -- into either a battery-saving
GPS unit, "speaking" navigation device or wireless unit that
simultaneously connects to two other devices.
The products are ideal for GPS and PDA enthusiasts, whether they're
travelers, salespeople, hikers, boaters, snowmobilers, foresters,
surveyors or others.
1. Updated Compact Flash GPS Receiver, "CF Primum," turns any
PDA or laptop into a GPS. The new CF Primum uses 44 percent less PDA or
laptop battery power than earlier versions, has nearly 25 percent better
satellite reception and a new slimmer, more durable design. $159.99 plus
shipping.
2. New Emtac Voice Navigator for Palm OS*, one of the market's
first products to allow complete voice navigation with a Palm OS* PDA
with Bluetooth connectivity. Drivers don't have to compromise driving
safety by looking at paper maps or in-car navigation systems -
Transplant's Emtac Voice Navigator on a PDA links to satellites to give
precise, audible voice directions. Comparable to in-car navigation
systems, but much less expensive and more portable. $349.99 plus
shipping.
3. New Emtac Bluetooth "Trine" GPS Receiver with a replaceable
10-hour battery and the ability to wirelessly and simultaneously link to
three other Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as PDAs, laptops and mobile
telephones. Earlier versions of Transplant's Bluetooth GPS receiver
featured a six-hour battery and could only wirelessly link to one other
device. $349.99 + shipping.
MORE DETAILED PRODUCT INFORMATION:
CF Primum GPS Receiver - $159.99 plus shipping
This low-power GPS receiver turns PDAs and laptop computers into a GPS
without draining batteries. The new CF Primum GPS features an updated,
sleek-looking housing that's easier to grasp and offers more efficient -
and precise - satellite reception. The CF Primum uses half the power of
earlier Transplant CF GPS versions (160 milliamps down to 90 milliamps),
which means longer PDA battery life. The updated CF Primum also offers
nearly 25 percent better satellite reception and Wide Area Augmentation
System (WAAS), providing higher accuracy -- just 1-2 meters rather than
6-7 meters. The unit features a slimmer, more durable Type-II compact
flash card that slides into the PDA or laptop. Standard GPS devices with
similar offerings cost considerably more. Compatible with all GPS
mapping software that accepts industry standard NMEA input.
Emtac Voice GPS Navigator for Palm OS* - $349.99 plus shipping
The Emtac Navigator is one of the first to feature voice-activated
street mapping for the popular Palm OS* handhelds (more than 30 million
Palm OS* handhelds on the market today). Transplant's Emtac Navigator
turns the Bluetooth-enabled Palm OS* handheld into a voice-activated GPS
navigation system that helps eliminate the risk of accidents from
peering at maps or in-car navigation systems. Transplant's Emtac
Navigator lets drivers watch the road while telling them where to go:
"In 300 yards, turn left. In one mile, turn right." If drivers make a
wrong turn, the system automatically will re-route them to their
destination. Comparable in-car navigation systems cost up to $3,500.
Emtac Bluetooth "Trine" GPS Receiver - $349.99 plus shipping
Transplant's Emtac Bluetooth Trine GPS Receiver boasts two new features:
the ability to wirelessly connect to two additional GPSs or computers,
and a longer-lasting removable lithium battery. In as quickly as five
seconds, Transplant's Trine receiver can simultaneously connect two
additional devices and share real-time GPS information. Ideal for
pilots, scientists, foresters and more. In addition, the Trine features
a new, removable 1,000 milliamp lithium battery that ensures at least 10
hours of receiver use -- four more hours than earlier versions. And for
those long trips, users can carry a spare battery and pop it in when
needed.
