MicroTRAK to Showcase New GPS-Based Tracking Products

DALLAS--Jan. 3, 2006--MicroTRAKgps, Inc. (Pink Sheets:MIOK), a leading provider of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technology and products, today announced it will showcase its line of vehicle security and tracking products in the Trimble booth #103 this week at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) being held Jan. 5, 2006-8, 2006 in Las Vegas. Trimble, a leading innovator of GPS technology, designs the chipset for MicroTRAK products.

MicroTRAK will introduce an entirely new class of vehicle security system that combines advanced, proprietary GPS technology and a global digital wireless network with real-time tracking on the Internet. Until now, consumers have been limited to "theft recovery-only" systems that utilize outdated radio-frequency technology which requires local law enforcement agencies and vehicles to be equipped with specific hardware to track stolen vehicles. Unlike competitors, all five MicroTRAK products operate coast-to-coast in all 50 states and soon in more than 108 countries throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Middle East.

At CES, MicroTRAK will display its full line of vehicle security and tracking products including:

-- AutoTRAK -- The basic theft-recovery product that once activated, will pinpoint the exact location of the stolen vehicle nationwide.

-- AutoGUARD -- The most comprehensive of the MicroTRAK products, it automatically triggers the vehicle's alarm system if moved without authorization, and notifies the owner if the vehicle leaves a prescribed area (known as "geo-fencing") or a pre-selected speed is exceeded. AutoGUARD interrupts the vehicle's starter, thus disabling the vehicle and provides remote door locking and horn/light flashing.

-- SlimTRAK -- The smallest and most portable of the MicroTRAK products, SlimTRAK fits in the palm of one's hand and can be moved from vehicle to vehicle or used to protect a wide variety of assets including people, equipment or personal items.

-- FleetGUARD -- This system helps keep track of company vehicles and can monitor the progress of a field sales force, delivery fleet, etc. Fleet GUARD also provides 2-way text messaging over the Internet which is integrated into the reporting screen.

Users of MicroTRAK products can locate and track their vehicle at any time on the company's secured Web server. In less than 45 seconds, authorized users can view a password-protected map showing the vehicle's exact location, direction of travel, speed and a history of movement. The MicroTRAK systems empower consumers to contact law enforcement as soon as a vehicle is moved without permission, so police can locate and recover vehicles quickly to minimize vehicle damages and repair costs. In addition, users may send commands to their vehicles (i.e. unlock the doors and disable the ignition), key features for parents of teenage drivers.

MicroTRAK currently works in collaboration with many local law enforcement agencies to aid in the recovery of stolen vehicles and is in the process of expanding these partnerships on a nationwide basis. Additionally, MicroTRAK recently received recognition from the United States Homeland Security Department for the role its product played in helping capture a suspected drug trafficker.
