Automotive Capital Group, which is acquiring Navicom GPS, a provider of GPS technology and services, announced Monday the company is supplying wireless global positioning system units and monthly service to the Inspector General's Office in Washington, DC.

Automotive Capital Group sees this as an agreement that offers potential future orders from Government and law enforcement agencies. Automotive Capital Group has positioned Navicom GPS to become the fastest growing aspect of its business.

The company also announced that it has begun seeing results from the Navicom marketing campaign. Testing units are now available for homeland security agencies, law enforcement, government agencies, auto dealers, fleet managers and trucking companies.

Navicom foresees the $25 billion dollar sub- prime automobile market becoming the fastest growing segment and will offer companies its asset collateral monitoring devices with lease options.

These solutions include automobile tracking, auto disable/enable capability through Internet, geo-fence boundary notification and point/click auto repossession. Other sub-prime auto companies are also buying Navicom to install on vehicles they finance.

Navicom believes it has the solution for the $25 billion dollar automotive sub-prime debt market to protect financed assets. Navicom is being acquired by Automotive Capital Group and the merger is expected to be completed by September 1, 2004.

Automotive Capital Group, which is acquiring both Colfax Financial and Navicom uses the GPS system in each automobile they finance. The use of Navicom technology eliminates a great deal of the risk and protects the loan asset by tracking it 24/7.

Because of the Navicom system, the company's goal is to improve the current vehicle sales of 50-100 cars each month for an average price of $8,000 per car to 200 autos per month of an average sale price of $10,000.

The company will finance each vehicle at 29.9% interest rate and install Navicom GPS in each automobile. The buyer can also receive insurance discounts of up to 33% with the installation of Navicom as well.

The acquisition of Navicom comes as industry watchers predict a wave of growth in the global positioning systems or GPS market. New Navicom GPS products include portable, hardwire, solar, heavyweight equipment, marine and motorcycle GPS tracking service.

One reason Navicom has such growth potential is unit sales plus a monthly reoccurring revenue for service. Overall GPS demand has been picking up in the past year because GPS technology can be used in daily business as a tool.

Navicom is seeing increased volume in applications - personal tracking, vehicle navigation, fleet management and motorcycle security system. The company said Monday that they are seeing significant reorders from current customers that use the MLU (Mobile Location Unit) wireless GPS technology.

Navicom global positioning system (GPS) receivers are now affordable, making applications unthinkable just 18 months ago. These emerging GPS applications, plus growth in current markets, will help propel the global GPS market north of $22 billion by 2008, according to technology market research firm ABI.

In a 2003 study released by ABI, GPS for the vehicle and asset tracking segments were expected to account for 50% of the global GPS market and continue to gain share through 2008. Navicom is looking to capture market share with service in 98% of the US, Canada and Mexico, a much broader range then competitors.
