Protection Your GPS Needs Considered a fringe automotive technology only a few years ago, today GPS (Global Positioning System) units are commonplace in vehicles across globe, with over 40 million sold worldwide in 2008. This was followed up by an even larger estimated total in 2009. Unfortunately with this astounding spike in the popularity of the technology has come a drastic rise in GPS related auto break-ins. In the US alone the rise in GPS thefts over the last few years has risen over 700% and appears to be a trend that will continue. You might think a common sense tactic of storing automotive GPS units out of sight, or removing them from vehicles when not in use would remove the potential threat, but the truth is that even telltale signs of a GPS in the car, like a cradle on the dashboard or residue from a windshield suction cup can prompt a break-in attempt. This can lead to costly repairs and even increased insurance premiums. GPS owner need a real solution to protect their GPS and vehicles, and that's just what the Maplock is. How It Works Maplock provides two tiers of protection; one a visual deterrent to a break-in, while the other is physical protection of your GPS when and if the first line of defense fails. First and foremost the device is meant to be seen by potential thieves, the assumption being that a vehicle possessing obvious security features is much more likely to be passed over by thieves in favor of easier, less risky targets. To that end, Maplock comes in a variety of bright, even stylish colors. The physically protective aspects of the device are also visible for all to see. These consist of a braided stainless steel cable, one end of which loops around an edge of your steering wheel, while the other connects, via a very visible lock to the main body of the Maplock, which encloses your GPS unit. Constructed out of sturdy materials, this main body is designed to clamp diagonally around your GPS, and is compatible with virtually any automobile oriented GPS on the market with a screen size ranging from 3.5-inches to 5-inches. The contact points of the inner surface of the Maplock body are padded with rubber spacers so as to not damage the screen or finish of your GPS as it clamps tightly down and is connected to the cable attached to the steering wheel via the lock. This combination of visual deterrence and physical protection against theft that only the Maplock provides make it the right choice for any GPS owner who wants to get the most out of their navigational tool, without losing peace of mind.
