Update once for Twitter and Facebook with new GyPSii CONNECT                    

Easy-to-use service links friends, profiles and networks for easy,              
all-in-one updating and content-sharing                                         

GeoSentric Oyj's (NASDAQ OMX: GEO1V), GyPSii business unit, developers of the   
award-winning GyPSii mobile social networking application (www.gypsii.com),     
today announced the launch of GyPSii CONNECT -  a web-based service that allows 
GyPSii users to automatically update and share their status, newly-created      
places and friends in real time across other social networks such as Twitter and
Facebook.                                                                       
“GyPSii CONNECT gives us time to manage our lives instead of our social         
networks,” explained Shane Lennon, SVP Marketing and Product Management at      
GyPSii. “It's easy to set up, use and manage, and will undoubtedly open up and  
help spread the GyPSii community globally. With more network connections in     
development, we plan to mobilize access to an open eco-system for consumers.”   

At launch, GyPSii CONNECT integrates with Twitter and Facebook. The company said
other social networking sites would also be introduced in the coming months.    
Using the service, http://www.gypsii.com/connect.cgi, GyPSii community members  
can synchronise their core social networking activities directly from their     
GyPSii profile, including:                                                      

Status Updates - A change of status on one of your profiles - whether on GyPSii,
Facebook or a new Tweet on Twitter - will automatically update in real time     
across all your other networks.                                                 

Place/ User Content Creation - Any new place that you create on GyPSii is       
automatically added to your profiles on other social networks. For Twitter, this
means a URL within a Tweet that links directly to the GyPSii Place. In Facebook,
your friends can view a thumbnail of your tagged place: they can then find out  
more by clicking on the thumbnail, and view it on GyPSii. Upon signing in, they 
are free to navigate the entire GyPSii community and create, share and connect  
with other GyPSii members.                                                      

Friend Additions - let others see your latest friends who have joined you on    
GyPSii via GyPSii CONNECT on Twitter and Facebook.                              

GyPSii members can experience mobile lifestyle services and a broad range of    
location-specific social networking functions - including user generated content
to create and share from your phone, viewing and locating friends and their     
content, and sharing information on nearby points of interest, such as          
restaurants, bars and clubs. Content can be contributed by friends, fellow      
GyPSii members and GyPSii's third-party content partners, all of which is       
available to view on a map - within a single easy-to-use experience.            

GyPSii's Business Partners - such as Samsung, LG, Nokia and China Unicom - can  
also take advantage of GyPSii CONNECT through OpenExperience (OEx), GyPSii's    
recently announced Application Programming Interface Service. OEx allows GyPSii 
partners to build users, content, experiences and communities of their own,     
which are then integrated across GyPSii and other social networks to form larger
communities.                                                                    
A full list of devices that support GyPSii can be found online at               
www.gypsii.com, or at http://gypsii.com/m from a mobile phone browser.
