Who-Rae Australia will be bringing a GPS anti-theft device that allows a user to secure their navigation unit inside their car.

A two-part locking process, Maplock is simple and quick to install. The tether attaches around the steering wheel, while the Maplock attaches over the GPS unit and locks with a key. It fits on GPS units with screen sizes between 3.5 and 5-inches.
Chris Pawsey who conceived the Maplock concept and is Who-Rae’s Business Development Manager said, “We had plenty of approaches from other companies but we believe Dectel is the best fit for us because they have a wonderful record of launching new products into the European market. They also have a well respected reputation and state-of-the-art logistics operation throughout Europe. ”
“The theft of portable GPS units extends past the broken window. Thieves are now targeting people’s homes with the Home address function and then robbing their house whilst the victim is out. Maplock therefore, helps to protect your GPS unit, your car window and personal information which could be harmful in the wrong hands,” added Paesey.
Maplock will be available from mid-April in 265 SuperCheap Autos stores around the country and then in Dick Smith stores for $59.95. It will also be rolled out to other major electronic and auto retailers around the country.
