GTX Corp Brings Personal Location-Based Services to the Masses With Google Maps API Premier
Advanced Mapping and Satellite Imaging Technology Enhances gpVector(TM) Global Tracking Function
| Source: GTX Corp
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - June 18, 2008) - GTX Corp (OTCBB : GTXO ) today announced the
integration of Google Maps™ API Premier into the tracking platform of
the gpVector™ Personal Location Service (PLS) technology. The company's
PLS system consists of a matchbook-sized, location-reporting module that
utilizes GTX Corp's "always-on" Assisted-GPS tracking capabilities.
Cellular transmission services are provided by the company's wireless
carrier partner, AT&T, to deliver real-time geographic coordinates,
rendered on Google Maps, to subscribers via secure internet connections.
Unlike other element topology-management functions, which rely on static
maps or geographic information systems (GIS), Google Maps API Premier
provides a rich, interactive interface that includes panning, zooming,
satellite images and street-level views (in certain locations).
Patrick Bertagna, GTX Corp CEO and President, noted, "Choosing Google Maps
API Premier as our primary mapping interface further illustrates our
commitment to establishing relationships with best-in-class providers to
enhance our users' experience. In this case, we're giving our customers the
most advanced mapping tool available, allowing them to offer a viewing
perspective second to none."
"Google is excited to have GTX Corp integrate our Google Maps API Premier
into its products," said Dan Israel, Product Marketing Manager, Google
Enterprise. "GTX Corp's use of Google Maps will help bring its personal
location services to a broader audience."
Intuitive, interactive maps and satellite images become especially
important as users begin to integrate real time tracking capabilities for
the purpose of seeing the whereabouts of loved ones and valuable personal
assets into their daily life activities. With Google Maps API Premier,
viewers can easily track street addresses and specific locations. This
capability also allows for the historical travel data (bread crumb trails)
to be mapped and preserved for future analysis.
