MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. — Telematics supplier GuidePoint Systems unveiled Tuesday the GPS Xtreme, a GPS-enabled theft-protection system for motorcycles and powersports equipment.
GuidePoint System’s new powersport theft-recovery system is water-resistant, dustproof and features the latest in advanced power management. The company introduced the system at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.
"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.
GuidePoint Systems are sold through more than 2,500 new and pre-owned dealerships nationwide. For more information, visit www.guidepointsystems.com or call (877) GPS-FIND.
The increasingly important profit center continued making gains in the first quarter, according to StoneEagle data, ancillary products proving more popular as consumers hold onto their buys longer.
