LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - July 9, 2009) - [ GTX Corp ] (OTCBB: [ GTXO ]), a leader in customizable, patented 2-way GPS Personal Location Services (PLS) solutions, continues its commitment to delivering people finding applications through [ LOCiMOBILE ]® and [ Code Amber ]™, both wholly owned subsidiaries of GTX Corp. The latest apps are designed to locate children, parents, friends, and business associates at the touch of a button without violating privacy, and aid law enforcement in the recovery of a missing person.

Following the launch of LOCiMe version 1.3 in April and the enhanced version 1.5 in June, GTX Corp submitted its newest app [ iLOCi2 ] for review last week. The geo-specific app runs in the background and, when authorized, populates the built-in Google Maps on your iPhone, or iTouch, with the locations of people in your private, opt-in buddy list. A free two-user version and a paid eight-user version are expected for release upon approval in the coming weeks. Additionally, a 24-user Platinum version and unlimited user Enterprise version are in development and will follow shortly. iLOCi2 was previewed by a wide range sample group of parents, teens, tweens, business executives, law enforcement officers, teachers, and technologists. Subjects were amazed, unanimously noting its fast and easy use coupled with accuracy.

"At this moment I've been calling and texting to check if my 12 year old daughter is on her way home," said Neil McQueen of Laguna Beach, parent and test group participant for iLOCi2. "After demo-ing the app myself, I'd be satisfied in knowing my daughter's whereabouts with a simple iLOCi2 request. Friend finding is fun and proves useful for social interaction, but as a parent I would have instant peace of mind with the push of a button. I would make the switch to AT&T's iPhone for this app alone."

"Our vision for the LOCi smart phone apps are coming to fruition with the help of Apple's 3.0 OS, the success of the 3G iPhone and App Store, and the expertise of application developer [ Lextech ]," said Patrick Bertagna, CEO of GTX Corp. "Imagine the relief for an anguished parent looking for their child, the joy of knowing where a spouse is, that a senior parent is safe, or perhaps business associates are close enough to make a spontaneous meeting. I LOCi... Do You LOCi Too?"

True to the company's mission of being [ the better people finder ], [ Code Amber News Service™ ], will soon be releasing its new app CodeMobile™. It is the first socially conscience app, supported by [ corporate sponsors ], working in the background that notifies subscribers as they enter a live "search zone." CodeMobile displays pertinent missing person alerts in real time based on the proximity and geographical location of a smart phone. CodeMobile will also be available in an SMS version for non-smart phones. As a precursor to the anticipated CodeMobile launch, Code Amber™ has recently added two million subscribers displaying national missing person alerts, and information about abductors when available, utilizing a rich graphical interface on Cisco VOIP land-line phones through its [ partnership with SA Announce. ]
