Global Telematics Introduces Revolutionary GPS Product, GeoTracer

IRVINE, Calif. Jan. 27, 2003; Global Telematics, Inc., experts in Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, has introduced GeoTracer(TM), an innovative satellite-based vehicle tracking system. GeoTracer(TM) allows individuals and fleet owners to track and manage vehicles with the ease and convenience of a user-friendly Web interface or through a 24-hour customer service center.

GeoTracer(TM) utilizes state-of-the-art, Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) satellite technology to track and locate vehicles remotely, at any time from any location. GeoTracer(TM) is built around Numerex's telemetry radios and incorporates up-to-the-minute satellite tracking technology via Numerex's Cellemetry® network, the nation's most extensive cellular control channel data network.

Only Global Telematics, Inc. makes this dynamic technology so easily accessible.

"No longer do you have to file a stolen car police report, and wait for a lengthy investigation to recover your vehicle," says Dr. Laurence Harper, CEO, Global Telematics, Inc. "Satellite recovery is so much more efficient and effective that we guarantee recovery." The company will pay $3,000 to individuals whose GeoTracer(TM)-equipped vehicles are not recovered within 30 days.

Should theft of a vehicle occur, GeoTracer(TM) instantly notifies the owner via cell phone, pager, PDA or e-mail. Victims can simply log on to their home PC or call a toll-free, 24/7 customer support number to locate their vehicle immediately.

"If you are a parent of teenage drivers, or you have elderly parents, GeoTracer(TM) can provide you with peace of mind," says Harper. "You can locate your vehicle and its occupants within seconds. You may even monitor vehicle use and set perimeter fences."

With GeoTracer's(TM) perimeter GeoAlert(TM) feature, owners are notified immediately if their vehicle travels outside its preset limits. Other GeoTracer(TM) features include Vehicle History Reporting and Low Battery Notification, Auto Dealer Fleet Inventory Control, Speed and Vehicle Direction, among others.

According to a recent North American GPS report by Frost & Sullivan, an international marketing consulting company specializing in information technology, the unit and revenue potential for GPS Telematics applications remain unrivalled. Continuing growth in such areas as AVL and fleet management is expected to drive this GPS segment to revenues of $3 billion in 2006.

Global Telematics, Inc. has partnered with Advent Resources, Inc., a leader in dealership point-of-sale software systems since 1988, to distribute the GeoTracer(TM) device to automobile dealerships throughout the United States and Canada. GeoTracer(TM) is sold exclusively through auto dealerships.
