Car GPS sales zoom ahead

PETALING JAYA

IF SALES numbers from M3 Asia Sdn Bhd’s are anything to go by, GPS car navigation unit sales are really taking off in the local market. According to Lester Neil Francis, group chief operations officer and executive director of M3 Technologies (Asia) Bhd and its subsidiary M3 Asia Sdn Bhd, the company’s sales of GPS car navigation units have been ­steadily increasing since last November and now averages about up to 355 units a month for the Altina and Papago! GPS units that the company distributes.

Apart from an obvious demand for portable GPS car units, part of the success of the Altina and Papago! brands in this country is due to M3 Asia’s large dealer base — currently M3 Asia has some 40 dealers in Malaysia, mostly in the main towns and cities.

The company also has a ­growing online sales e-store (www.m3shoppe.com) where customers can purchase GPS car navigation devices, as well as other electronics goods like iPods, memory cards and even selected netbooks. Online sales currently account for some 40%, with the majority of GPS units sold through retail channels, Francis said.
