Talking Road Whi*z Handheld Travel Information Gadget Offered

The patented Talking Road Whi*z (TRW) from Ultradata Systems is a pocket-sized, battery-operated electronic device that provides distance, directions and driving time to over 80,000 services located near Interstate roads across the U.S. A motorist keys in: the state the traveler is in, the interstate highway and direction being traveled, and the closest mile marker. Then the TRW prompts the user to choose a desired restaurant, gas station or other service and TRW will correctly display and speak the information to the motorist. The TRW will also provide step-by-step driving directions and driving times between 250 of the largest cities in the nation.

The TRW apart gives a traveler pinpoint information to locations of specific brands of gas, restaurants, hotels, shopping areas, camping sites and more. The Talking Road Whi*z tells motorists exactly how far the chosen service is from their location; and details the exit number, distance and direction off the exit, and calculates driving time based on your speed.

"It provides information that maps simply don't have," said Ultradata Systems President Monte Ross. "The Talking Road Whi*z is the only hand-held, self contained road travel information product that provides exit numbers, direction and distance off highway to requested services. It doesn't rely on addresses," Ross says, "because addresses are of little use to an interstate traveler unfamiliar with an area."

The Talking Road Whi*z provides the traveler with information on:

• Gas Stations (including 24 Hour and Diesel)
• Restaurants (including 24 hour establishments)
• Hotels and their 800 numbers
• Rest stops and available facilities
• Hospitals
• Campgrounds
• Tourist Sites
• Towns
• Highways and Borders
• Convenience Stores
• Shopping Malls
• Road help, road conditions, phone numbers.

The Talking Road Whi*z sells for $39.90 and is available at Office Max stores nationwide, selected Target stores and Discovery Channel stores or it can be purchased online at www.ultradatasystems.com/ or by calling toll-free: 800.274.0971
