  Product Description
  The Dash-Mat is a holding device that is compatible with most iPods, Mobile Phones, PDA's, Handheld GPS and Radar Detectors. The Dash-Mat is an essential item if using your Blackberry (or other GPS enabled Mobile phone) with Sat-Nav. Using the physics of weight distribution and a unique high tech anti-skid material the Dash-Mat contours to the top of the dash providing a solid base, allowing for convenient reach and greater portability. Ideal for moving devices from car to car for people on the go, and convenient for putting out of site when away from the vehicle.

• It keeps the windscreen clear of obstructions.

We are delighted to have licensed the Nav-Mat and to be able to create awareness with the Police national Crime Prevention teams and to the general public through our website www.securedbydesign.com.”

“Investing in a Nav-Mat is a small price to pay compared to the typical cost of a car break in” added Galkoff. “The Nav-Mat has a recommended retail price of £19.99. The typical break in costs a motorist £646 and based on Autoglass® research, 63% of motorists didn’t claim on their insurance.”

The Nav-Mat will make its debut in the UK when it hits the shelves of Halfords 100 largest stores from 26 April. The Nav-Mat is also available direct from Southmid Products website www.southmid.com

Southmid Products are proud to have received product licensing for the Nav-Mat from the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO).

Secured by Design saw the Nav-Mat as a very useful product to reduce the theft of Sat-Nav devices. Calvin Beckford, Secured by Design Development Officer for South England commented, "We particularly liked the Nav-Mat as it is a simple solution for a major crime problem affecting the UK. We saw its particular benefits being; it keeps the windscreen clear of obstructions, there are no suction marks left on the windscreen, the windscreen suction mount is less likely to be left on view in the vehicle."

With almost 3 million satellite navigation devices in the UK, an increase of 68% on the previous year, satellite navigation devices are becoming an increasing popular target for thieves.

Entrepreneurs Simon Galkoff and Clive Rose founders of Southmid Products knew they had a success on their hands when they spotted the Bracketron Nav-Mat in the USA. Galkoff who is a Magistrate in Hertfordshire commented, "Being aware of the amount of vehicle crime related to satellite navigation devices, when we came across this easily portable dashboard mat, we knew that it was the ideal solution in getting suction mounts off the car windscreen. With thieves looking for the suction mount 'ring' on the windscreen, many vehicles are being broken into in the anticipation that the Sat-Nav device will be under the seat or in the glove box. The Nav-Mat is a simple and practical solution. By attaching the windscreen mount to the Nav-Mat rather than the windscreen, there are no tell tale signs remaining for thieves to spot."

Research from Autoglass, the windscreen repair and replacement company says that Sat-Navs stolen from vehicles, over 260,000 in 2005, are being sold for as little as £50, providing substantial salaries for smash and grab thieves. It would take just 280 stolen Sat- Navs to generate an income of £14,000 per year.

Galkoff approached Secured by Design on the recommendation of the Hertfordshire Police and SBD saw the Nav-Mat as a very useful product to reduce the theft of Sat-Nav devices. Calvin Beckford, SBD Development Officer for South England commented, "We particularly liked the Nav-Mat as it is a simple solution for a major crime problem affecting the UK. We saw its particular benefits being; it keeps the windscreen clear of obstructions, there are no suction marks left on the windscreen, the windscreen suction mount is less likely to be left on view in the vehicle."
