SAN JOSE, Calif., April 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- deCarta's MapSearch mobile application, which provides integrated maps, local search, and directions across a wide variety of handset platforms and countries, has hit the one million user milestone in less than two weeks after its launch on March 22.

Subsequent releases are set to expand the deCarta MapSearch audience to a wide variety of smartphones with native and HTML5 support in over 60 countries and will add exciting new location-based services.
"We are pleased to see such rapid uptake of our MapSearch application," said J. Kim Fennell, President and CEO of deCarta.
