On 14 August 2005 Broughtons commenced their inaugural GT:05
event, inviting customers to enjoy a five-day adventure between
Stoke Poges and Monaco. The cars lined up on the start line at Stoke
Park Club in Buckinghamshire to travel across Europe on sweeping
roads through open countryside. The breathtaking scenery enabled
participants to enjoy the exhilarating drive in their Bentleys and
Aston Martins.
Throughout this GT:05 event Broughtons, in partnership with NavTrak,
monitored the progress of both a Bentley Continental GT and Flying
Spur, providing information on the progress of the two cars – the
route travelled and distances covered were recorded. The additional
features of WebWatch and
 AutoTrak were
utilised.
What is Navtrak Webwatch?
NavTrak is more than just a security device for a car. A feature
called Webwatch enables owners of their cars to view their vehicles’
current location on a street map. It uses GPS (Global Positioning
System), a system of 24 satellites orbiting the earth, to position
accurately any GPS receiver anywhere in the world. The NavTrak
receiver unit in the vehicle communicates with this system every
second and so determines its exact location. By accessing a
dedicated website from any computer it enables owners to select from
a list of their vehicles which are fitted with NavTrak. Enabling
vehicle owners to locate theirs vehicles’ movements 24 hours a day
naturally improves security of both drivers and vehicles.
 Why should I consider
NavTrak?
Between the dates of October 2004 and April 2005 NavTrak recovered
six NavTrak-equipped Bentleys stolen in the UK. On each occasion the
customer’s premises were broken into, car keys taken and the cars
driven away. NavTrak successfully tracked and recovered all these
vehicles within a maximum time of 2 hours 21 minutes, the quickest
recovery being 15 minutes.
