GyPSii and Garmin Sign Global Multi-year Agreement for Location-Based Services and Social Networking
GyPSii, the leading geo-location and
mobile social networking provider, today announced it has entered into a multi-year worldwide
agreement with Garmin®, the world's global leader in satellite navigation.
Under the terms of the agreement, GyPSii will provide 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. Garmin anticipates that future
products will include friend finding applications that support the GyPSii-powered locationbased
social networking services platform.
The agreement provides development licenses to Garmin, to leverage the GyPSii locationbased
geo-social networking services infrastructure for internal development and integration
with its products. The agreement also has provisions for revenue sharing between GyPSii and
Garmin.
GyPSii uniquely incorporates a wide range of location-specific functions and mobile lifestyle
services - including mobile search, user generated content-sharing and social networking - in
a single platform.

consumer navigation solutions," said Dan Harple, founder and CEO of GyPSii. "This
agreement underscores GyPSii as the leading platform for delivering on a global level the
