Giant Leap for GoCar, the Small Talking Tour Car


SAN FRANCISCO, July 10 /PRNewswire/ --

GoCar, the original GPS-Guided Tour company that launched in April 2004
in San Francisco, has made the big leap from the USA into the European market
with the addition of locations in Barcelona and Lisbon. The addition of EU
locations takes the total number of GoCar locations to 5 across the globe;
the others being San Francisco, San Diego and Miami.

Barcelona was the first location to open in EU and is the larger scale
launch with 20 GoCars that will rise to 40 cars within next 6-9 months. The
GPS Tour Network in the city offers multiple tour routes that give different
perspectives on this unique Catalan city of culture. These include a Downtown
and Park Tour that encompasses the Olympic Park in MontJuic and also the
uptown tour that visit Goudi's Park Guell and FC Barcelona's home at Camp
Nou. Tours are available in English, Spanish & Catalan.

Lisbon launched in late-June with 10 GoCars with plans to go to 20 soon
after. Their GPS Tour Network includes three tours that offer a broad cross
section of this unique city, its history, its present day hotspots, and The
Expo; Lisbon's city of the future. Tours are available in English and
Portuguese. With its echoes of San Francisco, with its own replica of the
Golden Gate Bridge and its cable cars, Lisbon is a natural addition to the
global GoCar GPS Tour network and completes GoCar's coverage of the Iberian
Peninsula.

The GPS software that drives the GoCar tour experience was developed in
San Francisco and is licensed to the operators in Europe via a franchise
agreement. It offers a versatile platform to deliver location-based
experiences in multiple languages and multiple themes. It enables a tour
designer to "draw" the tour onto a Google-Map type interface and imbue the
tour with well-timed, speed sensitive, direction sensitive, as well as
location-sensitive audio narration. The company has filed a patent in the EU
patent office covering its unique way of delivering location-based content.

The EU market with its rich cultural diversity and, its growing roster of
member states that has spurred cross border travel and tourism, bodes well
for GoCar's global expansion plans.
