LITTLETON, Colo. — GPS solutions provider PassTime has launched Encore, a new wireless GPS device for auto dealers. Encore was designed to offer the performance, features, and extensive battery life demanded by the asset protection industry in a small size. 

By eliminating the need to cut vehicle wires or the professional installation services needed for tapping into vehicle power, Encore’s small form factor and wire-free GPS solution allows it to be placed in a vehicle in minutes, in a variety of locations, while still being easily moved when needed, possibility introducing the technology to markets where traditional device installation has been a barrier, said PassTime President and COO Chris Macheca.

“Encore is truly a revolutionary product that we think is going to change the industry. Its wireless design that eliminates the need for a professional installation can significantly reduce logistical challenges and overall cost of the solution,” Machecha said. “The features, performance, and size of Encore are a feat of engineering and technology.”
