DriveSyncT Nominated for Two RetailVision AwardsNominations a Testament to DriveSync's Innovation and Widespread Market Appeal Waterloo, ON. - April 18, 2006 - Intelligent Mechatronic Systems Inc. (IMS), a world leader in telematics solutions, is pleased to announce that DriveSync™, its GPS vehicle tracking system, was nominated for two Spring 2006 "Best of RetailVision Awards": Best New Technology and Best Product - Digital Home. DriveSync™ was nominated by RetailVision attendees, many of whom represent the top retailers and distributors in North America. DriveSync™ is an innovative GPS vehicle tracking system. It allows vehicle owners to monitor when, where and how their vehicle is being driven. This information is tracked via GPS satellites and recorded on the in-vehicle DriveSync™ unit. Results are viewed by detaching the unit's data key and inserting into a computer USB port. Data is uploaded to a DriveSync™ server, where it is compiled into reports and route maps, and accessed via a secure web portal. The results provide vehicle owners with a comprehensive analysis of vehicle use and driver behavior. DriveSync™ supplies users with more than just vehicle usage data; it provides driver awareness. With turn-by-turn trip logs, route maps color-coded by speeds, and reports that highlight aggressive driving habits, DriveSync™ provides vehicle owners with a clear picture of driver habits. This information allows drivers to identify and improve unsafe or inefficient driving patterns, the results of which can lead to reduced vehicle insurance, fuel and maintenance costs. These are just some of the innovative features and benefits that led to DriveSync's nomination. "We are pleased and honored to have been nominated for the Best New Technology and Best Product-Digital Home Awards", says John Reynolds, Vice-President of Business Development at IMS. "To have been nominated by the attendees, many of whom represent the leading retailers and distributors in North America, we believe demonstrates DriveSync's widespread market appeal.
