GyPSii on Garmin nüvi® 1690


GEOSENTRIC OYJ  BULLETIN 	September 3, 2009 at 12:00                            

GyPSii on Garmin nüvi® 1690                                                     

Garmin nüvi® phone launches today across Europe and the US                      


GyPSii functionality will be delivered to customers in the pre-installed Garmin 
Ciao service on the latest Garmin portable navigation device (PNG) the nüvi 1690
being launched today across the USA and Europe.                                 

The nüvi 1690 is Garmin's first mobile navigation device to transform           
traditional social networking into location-enabled social networking. Customers
have the option of sharing their whereabouts with friends and family, and will  
see their friends' location on a map and then be able to navigate to that       
location.                                                                       

“We're very excited about the launch of the Garmin phone and the delivery of    
location based social networking capabilities from GyPSii,” said Dan Harple,    
Executive Chairman of GeoSentric. “This underscores GyPSii as the leading       
platform for delivering on a global level the next generation of mobile social  
networking communities and location-aware mobile lifestyle services. Working    
with Garmin opens up these new functions and services to consumers in new       
markets and takes the multi-billion dollar navigation market in a new           
direction.”                                                                     
This pre-installation of GyPSii functionality on the Garmin nüvi® 1690 follows  
upon the agreement signed between GyPSii and Garmin last year, where GyPSii     
provides technology, products, worldwide data center infrastructure, development
licenses, and GyPSii branding rights to Garmin, on a worldwide non-exclusive    
basis for a range of Garmin products.
