Columbus Announces Important Milestone in Vehicle Off-Road Navigation Systems: Land Rover Interested

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 25, 2007 -- Columbus Geographic Systems (GIS) Ltd. ("Columbus") (Pink Sheets: CGSE.PK) announced today that Land Rover has expressed strong interest in buying its new Ranger navigation software for use in its Experience Centers. This represents an important milestone in Columbus' strategy to penetrate the global market for vehicle navigation systems.

Land Rover, a division of the Ford Motor Company, is based in Gaydon, England. The company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of all-terrain and multi-purpose 4x4 vehicles for civilian and military use. Land Rover has established a global network of Experience Centers designed to provide the ultimate off-road driving experience for driving enthusiasts. The centers offer a range of programs covering expedition driving, remote navigation, and off-road technology. These include tailor-made experiences for group events, corporate retreats, and team building initiatives.

Ranger is Columbus' 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 variety of devices including Car PC and Personal Navigation Devices (PND). Land Rover is interested in using Ranger for drivers participating in the programs.

"Range Rover represents an important, high-profile opportunity for us," said Columbus CEO Tsvika Freidman. "We are aggressively targeting the market for vehicle navigation systems. This market is still under penetrated, with less than one-in-ten cars in North America having some kind of navigation system. Our goal is to establish Ranger as the principle off-road navigation tool for drivers around the world. We look forward to updating our shareholders on our discussions with this important client."
