subscription and will be using the full TeleNav GPS Navigator application, please refer to the TeleNav GPS
Navigator v.52 User’s Guide, available at
TeleNav GPS Navigator application, please see page
The TeleNav Maps™ application accesses your carrier’s data network to provide you with driving directions and a
host of other services, including:
•Static driving direction screens that give you turn-by-turn directions to any destination address in the
continental United States. You can enter a destination address by typing on the device’s keypad.
•A Search feature that allows you to find businesses or points of interest near a location of your
choosing, such as an airport, a waypoint, or any other entered address. You can easily call the
business that you have found to check on the availability of an item or to make a reservation. You can
navigate to the business location now or save the address for later use.
•Maps of a certain area, such as around a marked waypoint or an address that you have previously
entered. You can pan the map (adjust left, right, up, or down) and zoom in or out. You can also mark a
point under the cursor as a waypoint.

Places lists, and shop at the TeleNav Store.
2. Safety and Legal Notices
Please read this section carefully before using TeleNav Maps
TeleNav, Inc. will not accept any responsibility whatsoever for accidents resulting from failure to observe common
sense precautions. Your personal judgment, traffic regulations, and common sense must always take precedence
over any driving direction produced by TeleNav Maps.
WARNING: Keep your eyes on the road.
It is your responsibility as the vehicle operator to keep your eyes on the road and be an alert driver at all times,
ESPECIALLY when the vehicle is moving. The vehicle operator should not be distracted by the application
displays, by audible cues, or by manually interacting with the controls. When you need to enter data on your device
using the keypad or study the display, only do so while the vehicle is parked, not while the vehicle is in motion. Turn
off your device if your ability to drive responsibly is decreased by using the TeleNav Maps application.
If you are using a device mounting kit, make sure that it does not obstruct your vision. You may wish to charge the
device while using TeleNav Maps. If so, make sure that the charging cable does not interfere with any of the
vehicle’s co ntro ls.
WARNING: Drive safely and use common sense.
The vehicle operator’s personal judgment, traffic regulations, and common sense must always take precedence
over the instructions provided by TeleNav, Inc.
It is your responsibility as the vehicle operator to drive safely, observe all traffic rules, and use your own personal
judgment while driving. If you feel that a route suggested by the driving direction software instructs you to perform
an unsafe or illegal maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area that you consider to be
unsafe, do not follow the driving directions.
3. Data Service Options
The TeleNav Maps application that you install on your device requires a means of accessing the public Internet,
which is typically provided by your carrier’s data network.
The TeleNav Maps application communicates with the TeleNav servers to get routing, maps, and points of interest
via your carrier’s data network. You do not need to purchase additional data services if you already have a data or
email services plan for your device. However, if you do not already have a data or email services plan, you must
order one from your carrier so you can use the TeleNav Maps application. For contact information, please see the
“Customer Support” section on Page
56.
4. The Device Controls
The following keys on your device are referenced in this manual as follows. Depending on your device model, the
key placements and names may vary slightly (i.e., OK and Go). Pocket PC devices feature touch-screen
functionality for navigational ease. The screenshots throughout the document show the HTC 8925 screens in
portrait mode.
The 8525 device features a pull-out keyboard for easy typing. If the keyboard is pulled out, the screen will change
to landscape mode. If not, the screen is in portrait mode. TeleNav GPS Navigator can be used in either mode.

address:
http://ota.telenav.com/att/tnm
Then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the download. Please see the carrier- and device-specific QuickStart Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to install or remove the TeleNav Maps application. Instruction
manuals can be found in the Support section of the TeleNav website:
To launch TeleNav, find the TeleNav icon on the device’s Program menu
and select it.
After starting TeleNav, the splash screen appears for a few seconds.
Login
The next screen will collect your login information. Your phone number is
automatically generated. Your phone number MUST be the same as your
carrier phone number beginning with area code so that when you call the
Voice Address Input System, you will not need to type it in. Correct the
number if it is not accurate.
If you already have a TeleNav account set up, the application will ask you for
a password. Please type in the 4-digit code that was sent to you through
SMS or email.
When the device reaches the TeleNav servers with a valid phone number,
the device will be registered to use TeleNav and will only present the splash
screen and Warning screens in the future. Visiting
changing the PIN will require you to repeat the above registration process.

This next screen presents a warning for usage safety. If you agree to the
conditions, click Go.
Product T our
If you choose to continue, a pop-up screen will offer to give you a brief tour of
TeleNav. Choose Yes to view a tour of TeleNav Maps key features. To go
directly to the application, choose No.
NOTE: The product tour is only displayed the first time you log into TeleNav
and does not appear for subsequent logins. You can always access the
Product Tour again in the Tools/Extras menu.
You can use TeleNav Maps for many business and personal functions, including:
• Finding businesses, churches, schools, government offices, police and fire stations, etc.
• Getting static driving directions to virtually anywhere in the United States.
• Making reservations at restaurants, motels, and hotels.
• Sharing an address with friends so that they can get directions to that address.
• As a replacement for paper maps.
• As a personal information manager to keep a My Favorites list of places that you have visited or
called.
For example, you can use TeleNav Maps to find a motel, save the motel’s location to your My Favorites list so you
can easily find it again later, call it and make reservations, then get turn-by-turn directions to the motel.
You can also search for a particular type of business closest to a location of your choosing. For example, you could
search for a Mexican restaurant closest to the motel at which you have just made reservations.
In addition, you can also search for locations along your route. For example, you can search for all of the gas
stations that sell your favorite brand of gas on your route between Dallas and Houston.

3. Click Menu >> Delete and choose OK in the confirmation pop-up.
4. If you have chosen to delete a category folder, you will be presented with
the following options:
•Delete Category Only - Delete just the category. All favorites will

•Delete Category & Favorites - Delete the category and all
favorites in it. This deletes the favorites in this category only. If a
favorite is also saved under a different category, this action does
not delete it there.
•Cancel - Close the pop-up and go back to the Favorites screen.
A default category called “Received Addresses” is provided. If other TeleNav
Maps users share any addresses with you, the address will automatically be
stored in this folder. You can delete favorites from this category, but the
category itself may not be deleted or renamed.
You can use groups to organize your contacts (i.e., “Friends,” “Co-workers,”
etc.). Groups are also helpful when you need to share an address with
multiple people at once. Groups are indicated by the icon of two figures next to
each other. At least one member is required per group. To create a new
group, do the following:
1. On the Contacts page, choose “Create New.” On the pop-up, choose
“Group.”
2. Enter a Group name and choose Add Members.
3. Choose the members to add to your group. You can even add an
existing group to your new group. Contacts that you have selected are
shown by a check-mark icon. Click on them again to toggle to uncheck.
4. Click Continue when you are done with your selections.
Choose “Copy Contacts from Phone” to import the contacts you have saved in
your device’s directory/phone book to your TeleNav Maps Contacts list. This
feature provides you with a convenient way to sync your contacts and allows
you to easily share your location or selected addresses with them.
When contacts are imported into the TeleNav Maps application, there can
only be one phone number stored with each contact. Multiple entries are
created for contacts that have multiple phone numbers. For example, if John
Smith is uploaded as a contact with a home phone number and an office
phone number, then two contacts will be created, both named John Smith.
When contacts are imported, existing contacts with the same name and
number are not affected by the upload. However, if a contact’s phone number
or name is changed, a new entry will be created in addition to the original. For
example, if John Smith’s phone number remained the same, but the name
changed to Jon Smithe, then there will be two entries: John Smith and Jon
Smithe, both with the same phone number.
NOTE: Only the contact’s name and phone number will be imported over
from your device’s Phone Book. This feature may not be supported by all
devices.
When you select “Refer a Friend,” an invitation to use TeleNav Maps will be
sent to the contact or group that you select (though only the group name is
shown on the referral confirmation screen, the invitation is sent to each
member in the group). You can select an unlimited amount of contacts or
groups to whom you can refer.
Groups and contacts that have been selected are noted with a checkmark on
the Select Contacts page.
Referred contacts will receive a text message about TeleNav with a link they
can follow to get more information (contacts that already have a version of
TeleNav will not receive this text message).
If recipients no longer wish to receive invitation text messages from TeleNav,
they can opt out by texting “END” in their reply message. To opt back in, they
can text “GET” to an invitation text message.
You can set the following personal preferences in the Preferences menu. After
you select your new preference, choose Save.
•My N a m e - Edit your name here. This name will be displayed to
users when you share addresses with them.
•Route Style - Fastest, Shortest, Prefer Streets, Prefer Highway,
or Pedestrian. You can choose “Ask me each trip” if you would

T aking an Inco ming Call
When you are using TeleNav Maps and your phone receives an incoming call, your phone rings and displays a
screen that gives you the option to take or ignore the call.
If you ignore the call, the TeleNav GPS application resumes and continues with the function that you were using
before the call came in. If you take the call, you will automatically be taken back to the screen that you were on
when you hang up the phone.
Interrup tion of Other S ervices
Whenever TeleNav Maps needs to contact its servers, it uses your carrier’s data service. When TeleNav Maps
uses your carrier’s data service, other services such as SMS messaging and conventional cellular calls are not
available. Typically, this interruption of other services lasts no more than 20 seconds or so.
When incoming calls are blocked due to TeleNav Maps’ use of your carrier’s data network, phone calls go to your
voice mail if you have a voice mail service available.
