shows Telenav GPS’s best estimate of where you are, with guidance on how to move to the neare st street.
7.12 Audible Guidance During Navigation
The lead times for the audible guidance are increa sed proportionally to your driving speed. This allows more time for
changing lanes before a turn if you are driving at highway speeds as opposed to driving more slowly on local streets. A

and gives you a new set of instructions. If you a re viewing a Follo w Me map, tap the Reroute butto n on the screen for a
new set of instructions.
Though the typical response time is a few secon ds, it may take up to 1 5 to 30 seconds for Tel enav GPS to updat e your
route. If during this process you make additional deviatio ns from your current ro ute, Telenav GPS may have to conta ct
its servers for another new route.
Since Telenav GPS requires access your carrier’s net work, if you are off rout e and outside of the carrier’s coverage
area, you must return to your carrier’s coverage area i n order for Tel enav GPS to recalcul ate your route.
