GyPSii wins Symbian Star Developer Award For Most Innovative Symbian Application

GeoSentric Oyj's (NASDAQ OMX: GEO1V), GeoSolutions BV Business Unit (GyPSii),   
today announced that it has won a prestigious Symbian Star Developer Award, for 
Most Innovative Symbian Application, in recognition of its market-leading mobile
digital lifestyle application and geo-mobility social networking platform -     
GyPSii.                                                                         

Presented during the Symbian Smartphone Show in London on Wednesday, the Star   
Developer Awards recognise the most unique and innovative applications developed
for mobile phones based on Symbian OS™, as chosen by leading developer programs 
represented at the show. GyPSii was nominated for an award by NAVTEQ Network for
Developers (NN4D). This innovative application also caught the eyes of the      
judges at the finals of the NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge® earlier this year.     
GyPSii Vice President of Products Sam Critchley collected the award, which was  
presented by David Wood, EVP Research at Symbian, on stage during the keynote at
the event on October 22nd.                                                      

“We are delighted to receive this award and have GyPSii recognised              
internationally for our continued development using the Symbian platform,” said 
Critchley. “I thank NAVTEQ for its support as GyPSii continues to innovate and  
grow its customer base across the globe. Our use of NAVTEQ maps means that      
GyPSii members can link their User Generated Content to the very latest mapping 
data, as well as updated points of interest (POI) and other useful content to   
deliver a rich user experience to our members merging their physical and virtual
worlds.”                                                                        

“GyPSii is a great example of how map data and GPS technology can be combined to
develop innovative wireless LBS applications, so we had no hesitation in        
nominating it for the Symbian Star Developer Award,” explained Marc Naddell, VP 
Partner & Developer Programs at NAVTEQ.  “NAVTEQ digital mapping provides the   
right quality and depth of coverage to effectively support this type of social  
networking solution that connects user-generated content to people and places.”
