LAS VEGAS, Aug. 11 /EMWNews/ -- Columbus Geographic

Systems (GIS) Ltd. ("Columbus") (Pink Sheets: CGSE.PK) today announced that

it is responding to the growing demand for navigation-related applications

by developing a range of customized versions of its leading off-road

navigation product, the Ranger. The new versions of the Ranger address

applications that are currently not resolved by available navigation

products.



    "As users become more sophisticated, we are seeing a rise in the global

demand for new extended navigation-related applications," states Tsvika

Friedman, CEO of Columbus Geographic Systems. "We are intensively working

an entirely new range of extensions and application versions to meet this

growing demand. Among the topics that our development team is currently

addressing are customized language interfaces, and customization of

applications to specific client needs."



    Columbus' new modifications include the incorporation of additional

information such as dynamic topographic cross-sections, rapid and efficient

integration of maps from several different sources, and calculation and

alignment of coordinates on different grids. Columbus is also making

progress in negotiations with cartographers worldwide with the aim of

offering its own clients that largest range of maps available today.



    Ranger is a cutting-edge navigation software providing location-based,

Global Positioning System (GPS) mapping, navigation, and information

solutions for the off-road environment. Ranger works on a range of devices

including Car PC, PDA, and Personal Navigation Devices (PND). Ranger is an

easy to use and affordable navigation tool that reduces the chances of

getting lost and gives the exact geographic location to direct rescue

services in the event of an emergency.



    Columbus developed this advanced navigation application from

cutting-edge mapping and navigation technology. Ranger uses unique

technology to handle raster-based maps which are more complex than

vector-based maps used in urban areas.
