Navicom GPS Offers a New 'Fight Back' Anti-Theft Program for Cadillac Escalade Owners, the Most Stolen Vehicle in the U.S.

Navicom Offers Escalade Owners Special Pricing for Its GPS Tracking System That Works in 98% of the US, Canada and Mexico

PHOENIX, Nov. 11 -- NowAuto, Inc. announced that wholly owned subsidiary Navicom, the leader in GPS tracking technology is launching a new program for Cadillac Escalade owners. The Cadillac Escalade EXT is the most targeted vehicle by thefts for the second year in a row, a study by the insurance industry found. The Escalade is about to have a new anti-theft weapon, "Navicom GPS." Navicom is a GPS tracking system that works in 98% of the US, Canada, and Mexico. The Navicom system is not visible and not easily detectable. Navicom has "find it now" capability that most competitors require a police report before completing a trace. Owners can program the unit to notify them via phone, text messaging, fax, and email if the vehicle goes out of boundary areas. Escalade owners are offered Navicom GPS with 1-year of free tracking service. The purchase also comes with installation instructions on DVD specially made for the Cadillac Escalade.

Unlike the competition, Navicom has a broader range and is accessible via the Internet. Navicom also allows the subscriber to access the Escalade via the Internet to monitor location, speed, and maintenance requirements and even disable and enable the SUV from starting. In an Associated Press story, Kim Hazelbaker, senior vice president of the Highway Loss Data Institute, said, "Stolen Escalades are sometimes found resting on blocks without their wheels." For this reason, time is essential. There is not always time to get a police report before the SUV can be tracked. Navicom is point and click tracking. The new Navicom "Fight Back" Cadillac Escalade program is offered for $350 and includes 1-year of service.

Navicom vs. Competition:

Navicom GPS offers both installed and portable units. The biggest difference between Navicom and the competition is range of use. One of the largest suppliers in this market works in only 22 states and a police report is required before the company will issue a trace on the vehicle. When a vehicle is stolen, time is critical. Navicom allows the subscriber to access the vehicle's location via the Internet and contact law enforcement agencies.

Navicom features:

Navicom offers the following services with every unit. Navicom is available for all vehicles, no start-up costs, ability to unlock doors, geographical fence, access car through the Internet, telephone notification, locate vehicle anytime, starter enable/disable, remote car start, low battery notification, transferable unit, speed detection, report location continuously, over speed notification and coverage in 98% of the US, Canada, and Mexico.
