- Targets Accelerated Growth in Mobile Location-Based Services

deCarta, the leading supplier of software and services for the
Location-Based Services (LBS) industry, announced today that it has received
a strategic investment of 6-million dollars (USD) from T-Mobile Venture Fund
managed by T-Venture, the venture capital arm of Deutsche Telekom AG.
T-Mobile Venture Fund joins deCarta's existing premiere investors Cardinal

Location-based services are experiencing rapid adoption as consumers are
using new applications that take advantage of location-enabled handsets.
Location and mapping services have become a central ingredient in most mobile
Internet platforms. deCarta's geospatial software platform gives mobile LBS
application developers and mobile operators the ability to quickly build and
deploy applications that integrate a wide variety of map and data sources to
provide complex local search, navigation, mapping, social networking and
spatial search functions.

deCarta's technology is ideal for the full continuum of mobile LBS
solutions including off-board, server-based applications offered by mobile
operators through to "connected navigation" -- the ability to integrate
personal navigation devices and smartphones through real-time two-way mobile
connectivity to a variety of dynamic data sources and local search services.

In North America, location-based services have grown to account for 58
percent of the total downloaded application revenue according to recent
market data from Nielsen Mobile, a division of The Nielsen Company. In this
rapidly expanding market, deCarta has built a leading position with 90
percent of mobile LBS revenue at these carriers running on the company's
technology. deCarta's customers have location based applications running on
AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Verizon, ALLTEL, Bell Mobility, Telus, Boost and over
eight mobile operators in Europe.

"We're very proud that T-Mobile Venture Fund recognizes the strength,
position and value that deCarta has as a vital, central player of the LBS
market," said J. Kim Fennell, President and CEO of deCarta. "Their strategic
investment is a firm endorsement of the pivotal role deCarta plays in
accelerating the delivery of location-oriented mobile applications and
services to consumers around the world through our extensive network of LBS
developers and partners."

Nils von Dellingshausen, Senior Investment Manager, T-Mobile Venture
Fund, added, "We believe that deCarta's enabling core technology and their
unique central position in the mobile LBS value chain of application
developers, content suppliers and service providers allows them to
successfully leverage LBS market growth. deCarta creates a strong addition to
our overall investment strategy and portfolio of companies."

deCarta announced the investment by T-Mobile Venture Fund as part of a
larger financing round. Additional investors in this round will be announced
