Guidepoint Launches GPS Theft Recovery System for Motorcycles and Powersports Vehicles

MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., Nov. 3, 2009 -- Leading telematics supplier GuidePoint Systems today announced the launch of an all-new version of its award-winning GPS-enabled theft-protection system for motorcycles and powersports equipment.

The Madison Heights, Mich.-based telematics supplier said it is introducing GPS Xtreme at the SEMA Show (Booth #38058) in Las Vegas this week. The new powersport theft-recovery system is water-resistant, dustproof and features the latest in advanced power management.

"Theft of motorcycles and powersports equipment is an epidemic," Guidepoint CEO Rand Mueller said. "We've designed the new GPS Xtreme to protect against thieves by making it the most advanced system on the market in terms of reliability, durability and the latest in GPS technology. By combining it with our 24/7/365 response centers, we can respond to thefts and tampering quickly and with pinpoint accuracy."

Exposure to the elements and dead batteries can render an otherwise adequate security system inadequate. The new GPS Xtreme features expanded water-resistancy so it can be submerged for up to 30 minutes. The unit's casing is also dustproof to protect its electronic components from even the tiniest particles of dust.

GPS Xtreme also features the latest in advanced power-management, which allows the unit to draw as little as 50 microamps of power without sacrificing a moment's protection. If the unit senses motion, it immediately enters full-power mode and sends an alert to Guidepoint's 24/7/365 response center.
