Press Release Summary = Porta-Track Systems, Inc. announces the release of the
Porta-Track Personal Tracker, a GPS-based vehicle tracking device that's engineered
specifically for the civilian market. No bigger than a pack of chewing gum, the
Porta-Track's small size and simple setup make it ideal for concerned parents who
want to monitor their teen's driving habits, business owners needing to track their
company vehicles, or anyone else needing an easy way to log vehicle usage. It's
even being used to catch cheating spouses!

Press Release Body = By now, everyone's probably familiar with satellite navigation
systems - they can be found in many premium vehicles or purchased as a separate
add-on accessory, and are used to help you find your way around town. By
establishing a link with the Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) orbiting the earth,
with coverage spanning the entire globe, these devices can pinpoint your precise
location almost anywhere in the world, and help get you where you want to go.

Well, using this same sophisticated technology, the Porta-Track Personal Tracker
serves an entirely different purpose. Think of it as a VCR for your vehicle's
location and driving patterns. It's tiny, so it can be placed almost anywhere in
the vehicle, and is motion activated. Once the vehicle is in motion, it establishes
a link with the GPS system, and starts recording driving data - the precise
location, time and date, even the speed of the vehicle! It can store up to 1
month's driving data.

Later on, this device is taken out of the vehicle, and plugged directly into a
computer, where all that data is downloaded and plotted on a street level map,
giving you a clear and precise history of where, when, and how that vehicle was
driven!

Modern law enforcement have been using the exact same technology for years to
covertly track suspects or gather evidence in criminal investigations. However, the
devices they used were relatively large, bulky boxes that were difficult to
calibrate, a hassle to install discreetly and could cost well over $1500.

"Our goal with the Porta-Track was to make this sophisticated technology not only
affordable, but simple to use", according to James Wong, President of Porta-Track
Systems. "We want to avoid messy setup and installation procedures, and definitely
no complicated calibrations!" To that end, the Porta-Track is a tiny, battery
operated device with a highly sensitive GPS receiver built right in. And
installation's a snap - taking about 20 seconds to get up and running. That's it!
Best of all, the Porta-Track is manufactured entirely in the USA and marketed
directly to the consumer, with a price point of under $300.

Mr. Wong also made it clear that this is not intended as a "real time" tracking
system, meaning that it cannot be used to locate a stolen vehicle, or get real time
information of a vehicle's location (for that, you would need professional
installation of a service such as LoJack or OnStar). Of course, a "passive" system
means you also don't have to pay the monthly subscription fees of those services
either.

The Porta-Track will not be sold in retail stores, but may be ordered directly from
the company. If you would like additional information or are interested in ordering
one, just go to their website at www.porta-track.com or write to
