EB Expands Support for Microsoft Auto Platform

Demonstrated at EB's exhibit at the 9th annual Telematics
Detroit 2009 conference (June 2-3 at the Rock Financial Showplace in
Novi), Microsoft Live Search for Devices enables Internet-based searches
through a mobile device. EB street director converts search results into
routable destinations that are plotted directly onto a navigation map.

Using a wireless link such as a Bluetooth-connected cell phone,
Microsoft's Live Search function combined with EB's software solution
provides an integrated Internet-connected navigation system for use in
cars and light trucks, according to Artur Seidel, vice president of EB's
Automotive Software Business for the Americas.

EB is an experienced Microsoft Auto solutions provider. The
highly-successful Ford SYNC program in North America and the Fiat Auto
Group's Blue&Me in Europe and South America are powered by Microsoft
Auto. EB has contributed to both projects.

"We now are supporting the current release of Microsoft Auto with new
software solutions," Seidel said. "In addition to providing an on-board
navigation solution for Microsoft Auto, EB street director software
integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Live Search for Devices to provide
up-to-date search results instead of a static point-of-interest
database."

Greg Baribault, director of product management for Microsoft's
Automotive Business Unit, noted "As the use of the Microsoft Auto
platform continues to grow, so has the demand for technology partners
that can deliver innovative applications and services. We are glad to
see EB, as a member of the Microsoft Auto partner program, providing an
advanced and highly customizable navigation solution that also takes
advantage of the Microsoft Live Search feature. With the 'connected'
vehicle becoming a reality, such integration is crucial for the next
generation of in-vehicle software applications."

EB street director is a white-label navigation software solution for the
automotive and consumer electronics market. The software is modular in
structure and supports multiple operating systems. The architecture of
the EB street director software also has open interfaces and allows OEMs
to integrate their own applications and services, as well as those of
third-party suppliers.
