New York City—November 13, 2000—Vindigo, developer of the leading personal navigation platform for mobile devices, today extended its free service to four new major metropolitan areas: Austin, Denver, Houston and Miami. Already available in 12 U.S. cities and London, Vindigo's rapid adoption exemplifies strong consumer interest in receiving locally-relevant content on mobile devices. Its growing roster of partnerships with local content providers further demonstrates the appeal of the platform for publishers.

Users in Miami, Houston, and Denver can access dining content from Zagat.com. Shopping information is provided by inshop.com, while clubplanet.com delivers nightlife information. Consumers can download the free application to any Palm OS ® handheld device from austin360.com or the Vindigo Web site, at www.vindigo.com.

Vindigo brings consumers the timely local content they need to make fast, informed decisions about where to eat, shop and play. Vindigo's comprehensive information on the best restaurants, bars, nightclubs, stores and movies in each city, is drawn from a number of trusted sources.
