award, which was presented by David Wood, EVP Research at Symbian, on
stage during the keynote at the event on October 22nd.

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."

networking, as well the ability to view it all on a map - all within a
single experience including NAVTEQ map data and content. Using GyPSii,
