Discrete Wireless announces MARCUS® 3G2 Interface
Support for Garmin Navigation Devices.

― Company combines GPS Tracking with Dispatch, Messaging, and Routing ―

 

Atlanta, GA, Wednesday June 4, 2008 -- Atlanta-based Discrete Wireless, Inc., a leader in the GPS Fleet Management industry, today announced the Company will provide a "bolt-on" Garmin in-vehicle navigation and routing extension to the Company's MARCUS® 3G2 GPS tracking device. The Garmin display will handle dispatch and route points in addition to the out of the box Garmin capabilities like turn-by-turn voice guided directions. The Company has been shipping the Garmin compatible in-vehicle radio module, the MARCUS® 3G2, for a number of months in preparation for the Garmin product launch.

"Garmin and MARCUS V8 is a powerful combination that leverages the Company's experience in providing high benefit, low cost solutions. We expect this and similar solutions to solve the business issues that our customers have been clear in defining and demanding."

The Garmin in-vehicle solution is married to the new MARCUS® V8 application which is being launched simultaneously. The MARCUS® V8 solution has significant and powerful new features including user control over tracking fleet dispatching and an updated Mapping interface control panel.

Competitive pricing, driver interaction and the user-friendliness of the MARCUS® V8 system are critical components of the user experience as it directly impacts the operational efficiencies and overall Return on Investment (ROI) of this end to end fleet tracking, management, and navigation solution. Discrete Wireless continues to supply the ease of use and functionality in GPS Fleet Management solutions that the Company's customers have grown to expect and rely on.

R. Wayne Johnson, Vice-President Sales & Marketing for Discrete Wireless states, "Garmin and MARCUS V8 is a powerful combination that leverages the Company's experience in providing high benefit, low cost solutions. We expect this and similar solutions to solve the business issues that our customers have been clear in defining and demanding."
