LOS ANGELES -- CBS News' The Early Show featured GTX Corp's (OTCBB: GTXO) gpVector[TM] Personal Location Service (PLS) technology in "'Smart' Clothes: Fashion With Function." The story by Emmy Award winner Susan Koeppen aired in a Consumer Watch segment Saturday, June 21, 2008. CBS News' The Early Show is a national broadcast that covers breaking news and reports on a wide range of subjects from consumer and health issues to personal finance.

GTX Corp's patented GPS "smart shoe" was showcased in the segment noting the technology could be used to track "senior citizens who wander away, or kids who get lost." Additionally featured was GTX Corp licensee MyAthlete LLC which produces a GPS belt empowered by GTX Corp technology. The MyAthlete belt is used to track competitive athletes in real time and was demonstrated on the air by seven-time Ironman triathlete Eric Hodska.

"The interest shown in our footwear implementation has been overwhelming," remarked Patrick Bertagna, CEO and President of GTX Corp. "Being able to demonstrate the power of Personal Location Services (PLS) technologies to CBS' viewers was a privilege for our team. We thank Susan Koeppen for that opportunity."

One of the most compelling applications for the GPS enabled tracking and monitoring platform is to embed the miniaturized gpVector[TM] module in footwear. The solution is designed for use specifically to monitor the well being of children or the elderly afflicted with dementia. GTX Corp has many proprietary uses for its technology and is currently considering several licenses for a variety of applications in the branded consumer products marketplace.
