GolfFlyOver puts aerial views of over 12,000 golf courses
along with pinpoint yardage information on the iPhone. GolfFlyOver ombines the
iPhone's built-in location-based services with satellite aerial imagery from
Google Maps to locate nearby courses, provide yardages to the green and enable
detailed course and hole layout information.

With satellite imagery from Google Maps, GolfFlyOver gives
users the ability to "Fly Over" any of the more than 12,000 golf courses in its
current collection. A bird's eye view of the course or current hole allows
golfers to view the layout of the terrain and visualize hazards such as water
and bunkers. Knowing the lay of the land enables the user to make better club
selections and more informed shot decisions - both lead to better scores and a
more enjoyable golf experience.GolfFlyOver Features:

  • Automatically find nearby courses.
  • Search and get directions to over 12,000 golf courses.
  • Detect what course and hole a user is currently playing.
  • Determine yardage from a user's current location to the
    green for any supported course.
  • View real satellite maps of every supported course with hole
    numbers and yardages pre-plotted. Also view a close-up of the green for every
    hole.
  • Use the devices' built-in accelerometer to determine the
    slope, or break, of a putt on a particular green.

GolfFlyOver will continue to expand its collection of golf
course flyovers until it covers every one of the 18,000+ golf courses in the United
States
by the end of 2008.

As an avid golfer and iPhone owner myself, I'm excited to
offer an application that will revolutionize the golf experience," added
Clayton Kane, PosiMotion's chief technology officer.

GolfFlyOver will be available this week as an immediate
download for only $14.99 via the iTunes App Store.
