1. Welcome

The Scout™ v1.4 application on your Android device uses GPS position determination technology and access to your carrier’s data network to provide you with driving directions and a host of other services. Depending on your subscription, Scout provides:
GPS navigation that gives you turn-by-turn directions to any destination address in the United States. If you miss a turn or get off-track, Scout will calculate a new route for you.
Up to three routes to choose from before your trip, with estimated times for each route to put you in control of navigation.
Navigation features such as Lane Assist to help you determine which lane(s) to be in at a multi-lane highway junction or an intersection. View traffic cameras and speed trap locations on your navigation map, as well as the legal speed limit.
Audio and visual traffic alerts while driving or viewing maps, as well as traffic rerouting capabilities to minimize delays on your trip.
A “Traffic,” “Speed Camera,” and “Satellite” layer view that allows you to see traffic flow or any traffic cameras, as well as a 3D view of your surroundings, including buildings and parking lots.
Different ways to enter one or more destination addresses: keying into the device, pulling your contacts from the device’s Contacts list, or entering them on the www.scout.me website. Optionally, you can input a remote origin and receive Driving Directions from that origin address to the selected destination address.
A Nearby feature that allows you to find businesses or points of interest near your current location or another location that you choose. Quickly type into a one-box search field on the Dashboard, or access a full page of Nearby category buttons. Read ratings and reviews for businesses and 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 now or save the address for later use.
Points-of-Interest details that offer Yelp® and TripAdvisor® reviews, deals, and restaurant menus (depends on availability).
Maps of the area around your current location or around any address that you enter. You can pan the map (adjust left, right, up, or down) and zoom in or out. Maps and points-of-interest are frequently updated for accuracy, at no additional charge to you.
The ability to set Daytime or Nighttime colors for your map or navigation screens. You can also set this to “Auto” for automatic color adjustment throughout the day.
Different car icons available so you can change the look of your car during navigation.
The ability to personalize the application by selecting the use of U.S. customary or metric distance units,
adjust the backlight, the audible guidance announcements, etc.
You can also use many of Scout’s features on the www.scout.me website, such as getting driving directions (Route Planning) and using the Search function to find businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and gas stations. You can also use the Scout website to add an address to your My Places list, and manage My Places.
For a comparison of features between Free and Scout Plus accounts, please refer to Appendix A on page 75

2. Safety and Legal Notices

Please read thi s sect ion caref ully before using Scout
Telenav 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 Scout.
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, audible cues, or manually interacting with the controls. When you need to enter data on your device using the keypad or study the display, please do so while the vehicle is parked, not while in motion. Should your ability to drive responsibly be decreased, please turn off the device.
WARNING: Install the e quipment safel y.
If you are using a device mounting kit, make sure that it does not obscure your vision. You may wish to charge the device while using Scout. If so, make sure the charging cable does not interfere with any of the vehicle controls.
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 Scout.
It is your responsibility as the vehicle operator to drive safely, observe all traffic rules, and above all use your own personal judgment while driving. If you feel that a route suggested by the navigation software instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe, do not follow the instructions.

3. Data Service Options

The Scout 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 Scout application communicates with the Scout servers to get routing, maps, and points of interest (or POI) 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 wireless carrier so you can use the Scout application. For contact information, please see the “Customer Support”
section on page 73
.

6. Downloading and Launching Scout

Scout can be downloaded from the Google Play™ Store on your Android device. Go to the Android app drawer >> Play Store and download the “Scout by Telenav” application. You will not be charged for the download.
After the download, the Scout logo is available for selection in the app drawer.

6.1 Sign-on Process

There is no limit of how many of your devices on which you can install Scout. To access Scout on different devices, simply install the app. However, you can only use the features of Scout Plus (voice-guided, turn-by-turn navigation, automatic reroute when a turn is missed, etc.) on the account attached to your device.
1. Upon launching the app, the Scout splash screen appears for a few seconds.
2. Scout may ask if your current location can be used for map and navigation purposes. Make a selection to clear the pop-up.
© 2013 Telenav, Inc. Page 12 of 75
3. On the next screen, you can create a Scout account or Log In if you already have an account. You can use your Scout account to log in to the scout.me website, access web features, and sync certain features to your device, such as your Places.
NOTE: Your password must be 4 or more characters. Choose “Maybe later” to
skip this step. You can always set up an account later by choosing My Profile >> My Account in the app.
4. On the purchasing screen, you will be offered a chance to try or purchase Scout Plus, which offers more features than the free version of Scout. Choose “No thanks” to use Scout with free navigation.
5. Choose Go on the next screen to start using the app.
NOTE: The Free version of Scout does not offer all the features that come with
Scout Plus. See Appendix A on page 75
for a matrix explaining the subscription
features. This User’s Guide explains all the features available in a Plus account.
During your first use of Scout, the device will download graphical content needed to build the displays. The time it takes to complete the download depends on wireless data connection.
When Scout is using data service to contact the Scout servers, it will present a message such as: a) Reading GPS, b) Waiting, c) Sending, d) Receiving, e) Logging in, f) Personalizing, g) Loading, and h) Storing.

Choose the Search icon or a suggested location to get driving directions.
© 2013 Telenav, Inc. Page 21 of 75
Scout checks to see if the address that you entered can be found.

Shortest – This Route Style may or may not take more time to drive, but it shows you the shortest
distance.
Avoid Highway – Use local streets instead of highways if possible.
Pedestrian – Find walking directions.
NOTE: The “Pedestrian” route style may make your walking route easier, for example by allowing you to take
advantage of going the wrong way down one-way streets. As always, use your common sense to determine the safety of any route.
Next, make your selections on the following:
Avoid Traffic – Find the best route around traffic jams.
Avoid Tolls – Find a route around tolls, if possible.
Use Carpool Lanes – Find routes that have a carpool lane option.
NOTE: These options are grayed out if you selected “Pedestrian” as your Route Style.
9.9.2.2 Edit Voice Settings
This option lets you customize the audible cues received during a navigation session.
Directions & Traffic – Announce turns (left, right, etc.) and any traffic alerts/incidents along the route.
Directions Only – Announce just turns (left, right, etc.).
Traffic Only – Announce just traffic alerts/incidents along the route.
None – No audio.

9.10 Moving to the N earest Street

If you are not directly on a street, for example if you are in a large parking lot or driveway, you will see a screen that shows Scout’s best estimate of where you are, with guidance on how to move to the nearest street.

9.11 Audible Guidan ce During Navigation

The lead times for the audible guidance are increased 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 preference setting in My Profile >> Audio determines whether turn directions and traffic are included in the audio or not.

9.12 Audio Replay

If you wish to repeat the next turn direction during navigation, simply tap the Turn icon on the top navigation bar.

9.13 Miss a Turn?

Whenever you miss a turn, turn the wrong way, turn too early or too late, or otherwise get off the planned route to your destination, Scout automatically creates a new route to your desired destination, audibly announces, “Rerouting,” and gives you a new set of instructions.
Though the typical response time is a few seconds, it may take up to 15 to 30 seconds for Scout to update your route. If during this process you make additional deviations from your current route, Scout may have to contact its servers for another new route.
Since Scout requires access your carrier’s network, if you are off route and outside of the carrier’s coverage area, you must return to your carrier’s coverage area in order for Scout to recalculate your route. Download “Always There” maps
for continuous coverage in case of loss of signal. See page 54
for more information.

9.14 Navigation Views

The default navigation view is 3D moving maps, but you may wish to use the 2D Map instead. Go to My Profile >> Maps & Navigation >> Moving Maps to select a 2D map view instead.
TIP: You can also tap the Compass icon at the bottom-left of the screen to toggle between 2D and 3D map
views during a navigation session.

The name of the street you are currently on is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The street name for your next turn is shown at the top.

9.14.2 2D Moving Map

The 2D view allows you to see how the road network is organized, similar to the perspective of a cartographer looking down on a map.
The name of the street you are currently on is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The street name for your next turn is shown at the top.
In 2D and 3D moving maps, you can zoom in or out while navigating by tapping the screen to expose the menus and choosing the and buttons. You can also pan the map up, down, left, and right by sliding your finger along the
screen. If you pan out of the current route, the map will snap back to the current route after 15 seconds with no click activity.

12.4 Maps On My Device

 
When you are out of network coverage, Scout will seamlessly go into “Always There Navigation mode” so that you are still able to get navigation instructions and audio. To enable Always There Navigation mode to kick in when you are out of network, you must first download regional map data. This download is encouraged so that the app can always get navigation instructions even during network interruption.
1. Go to My Profile >> Maps On My Devices.
2. Choose a map region to begin your download.
A WiFi connection is required for the regional map data download. The speed of the download depends on your WiFi connection, which you must maintain for the download. If you lose connection, download will pause and then resume when you are back in coverage. You can interact with the application while the downloading is in progress.
NOTE: You can only store one map region at a time on your device. If you
download a new region, the one you currently have downloaded will be replaced. In Always There Navigation mode, certain functions such as “Speak It”/Voice Command, satellite image during navigation, and traffic will not work.

12.4.1 Online vs. Off line Featu res

The following table shows which features are available when you are within wireless network coverage (“online”). Features with checkmarks in both columns represent Always There Navigation mode (“offline”).

15. Ford SYNC AppLink

Scout offers the ability to connect Ford automobiles equipped with Ford SYNC AppLink. The Car Connect mobile feature is required to allow for the connection to the car via Ford SYNC AppLink. Certain Scout features are available when you connect.
SYNC AppLink connects your vehicles SYNC system to your Android device via Bluetooth. You can choose a destination by speaking certain voice commands or through the Scout application on your device.
On standard SYNC systems, text directions are displayed on the SYNC screen and audible guidance is announced through the speakers. You can also search for certain locations and start navigation through SYNC.
If your Ford automobile is equipped with SYNC with Voice-Activated Navigation, the destination name and address is downloaded to the onboard navigation system, which then takes over. For details on how to use your SYNC with Voice­Activated Navigation system, please go to: http://support.ford.com/topics/sync-technology-sync-navigation
NOTE: Scout is only compatible with SYNC v 4.1.1 or higher. Please contact your local Ford dealership to find out if your
vehicle has the latest version of SYNC.

15.1 Safety Feature

To help protect you and improve safety, Ford and Telenav have implemented a screen-locking feature in Scout.
If your vehicle is moving faster than 5 mph, Scout on your device will be locked and display the screen depicted to the right.
You will be still able to control Scout through SYNC, as explained in Voice Commands below. If you need to access the full functionality of the Scout application you must unlock Scout.
To unlock your device, safely pull-over and stop your vehicle, or find a safe and appropriate location to drive slower than 5 mph.
NOTE: When you first start your vehicle and connect Scout with SYNC, Scout will
be locked unless you begin driving and then stop or are driving slower than 5 mph.

Account not found
You do not have a valid Scout account. Contact Telenav Customer Support at 1-888-353-6284.
GPS signal weak, Cannot get GPS signal, or No GPS data
Move to an area where your device has a clearer view of the sky and can still connect with your device. Please note that some car windshields that have heat-reflective coatings may reduce the quality of the GPS signal. Your device should announce when you have adequate GPS signal again.
Network signal weak
If the carrier network signal is weak, move to an area where reception is better and try the function that requires network access again.
Scout encountered an error
Scout is having technical problems with the specific request that you made. This can be due to an address that it cannot find, or mapping data that does not allow routing from where you are to where you want to go. In this case, try to use a nearby address.
Scout not available
If you get an advisory message that Scout is not available, exit the application and then re-launch it. If the problem recurs, it may be due to a temporary server outage.
Unable to generate a r oute
Scout could not generate a route between the two endpoints of the route. This may be a temporary error if you have a weak GPS signal when establishing the origin, but may be due to errors in the map data in the area around the destination.
Your account has expired
You do not have a valid Scout account. Order Scout by calling Telenav Customer Support at 1-888-353-6284.

21. FAQ’s

Why do I need the carrier’s data service?
The data plan allows you to access nationwide routes, maps, and Nearby content from the Scout servers using the data communication features of your device. These services are different from your cellular airtime. To order a data plan, please contact your wireless carrier.
How long after I apply for the data service until I can use my Scout system?
With data, you should be able to start using the Scout application right after it has been downloaded.
Why do I get the “GPS Location Settings” prompt when I first la unch the a pplication?
You need to turn on the Location settings so your GPS location can be detected, and for features such as navigation to work within Scout. You will get a prompt message when you first launch the application with instructions on where to change the Location settings. You must choose “Exit” and manually change the Location settings.
© 2013 Telenav, Inc. Page 70 of 75
Does Scout use up my voice plan minutes?
Scout uses data to provide its navigation functions. Using data does not use any of your voice minutes. However, the Speak It feature within the Scout application that allows you to make calls to businesses does use voice minutes.
How do I increase or decrease the voice prompt volume and control the backlighting?
Speaker volume can be controlled with the volume buttons on the side of the device. The backlight can be controlled
from within Scout’s Menu/Action Overflow >> Settings >> Navigation >> Backlight menu.
How do I conserve battery life on my device?
Set the backlight to “On at Turns” in Menu/Action Overflow >> Settings >> Navigation >> Backlight menu. This option turns the backlight on only when a turn is approaching.
How accurate is the GPS?
GPS accuracy can range from 20m (approx. 65 ft) to 100m (approx. 328 ft). Most of the time, the GPS is accurate to less than 50 meters (approx. 164 ft).
What are ideal conditio ns for GPS navigati on?
Ideally, a device with a GPS receiver needs a clear view of the sky, starting from about five to ten degrees above the horizon. Solid or massive obstructions can reduce accuracy or block GPS signals, and may cause extended initialization time (time to first GPS fix). Common obstructions include tall buildings, covered parking lots, tunnels, trees, and terrain features.
If you are parked in a covered parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you move to an open area and then begin to use Scout.
Why does GPS not work n ear building s and other tall objec ts?
Your device requires signals from GPS satellites in order to work, so it needs a clear view of the sky. Dense materials (such as concrete, rock, steel, heavy wood), tall buildings, terrain features (like mountains, ridges, and cliffs), and large trees can block or degrade GPS signals and may make it impossible to determine your location.
GPS satellites are not always immediately overhead and could be anywhere in the skies at any time, even low on the horizon; however, there are enough satellites in orbit so that four or more will be view of your device if not blocked by large objects, terrain, or dense materials.
How do I know that my device is receiving GPS signals?
Scout alerts you if your device is not receiving GPS signals. If this happens, move to an area where there is a clear view of the sky so your device can receive GPS signals from space.
What happens if I lose network c overage for an ex tended time while dr iving?
When you are out of network coverage, Scout will seamlessly go into “Always There Navigation mode” so that you are still able to get navigation instructions and audio. To enable Always There Navigation mode to kick in when you are out
of network, you must first download regional map data. See “Maps On My Device” on page 54
for setup instructions.
Why do I need WiFi to download the map?
Because each region is currently over 800MB, maps will be downloaded much quicker using a WiFi connection.
Why can’t I download all three regions?
Having all three regions on your phone at one time will take up too much memory on your phone and in the app. To prevent any lag in service, we only allow one region at a time. While other apps allow you to download the whole country or even individual states, Scout does it via region to give you a comprehensive map around your respective area – so it’s easier for road trips, nearby travel, etc.
© 2013 Telenav, Inc. Page 71 of 75
How much space will the maps take on my phone?
Each region is different. They vary in space based on how large each region is. While the initial download may take 10-15 minutes on a normal WiFi connection, it won’t take the same amount of time to load the map each time. Once it’s been downloaded in the app, you’re good to go. Each region’s current size is listed below:
Western – 834 MB
Central – 1565 MB
Eastern – 1323 MB
Will search work out of wireless coverage?
Currently point-of-interest (POI) search is not offered outside of wireless coverage. Only address search will work with Always There Navigation.
Can I search for addre sses in my contacts usi ng speech r ecogniti on?
At this time, speech recognition cannot be used to search for addresses in your contacts.
What does the speech recogniti on unde rstand?
The recognition is optimized to work best for navigation related tasks. The following types of request are recognized:
Addresses
Points of interest
City, states
Airports
Intersections
What happens if I’m using Scout for driving dir ections and I los e the GPS s ignal while dri ving ac ross a bridge or through a tunnel or lose the GPS signal fo r some other reas on?
Scout remembers the speed at which you were driving before losing the GPS signal. Scout continues to give you driving directions based on an estimate of the projected distance that you may have traveled at your last recorded rate of speed. Scout recalculates your current position when you regain a GPS signal and adjusts your driving directions accordingly.
How often are your maps updated?
Our maps are updated quarterly.
Scout is free zing up on me. How do I fix thi s?
If Scout is freezing, power your device off for about 20 seconds before turning it back on. Once you’ve done this, try launching Scout again. If you are still experiencing issues, please contact your carrier.
How do I delete my list of “Recents?”
In the Recents menu of Scout, press-and-hold an address and choose Delete for an individual deletion. To delete all Recents, choose the Delete icon at the top of the screen.
How do I re-install or update Scout?
If you have an Android device running Android OS 2.2 or higher (or an Android tablet running Android OS 3.0 or higher), you can go to the Play Store in order to obtain the latest version of Scout.
Why is Scout displaying Virtual Bi llboar ds at the bottom of the screen no w?
This feature is designed to provide useful information while you are driving that will not distract you from the road. Virtual Billboards can help you find gas stations, motels, or restaurants along your route.
© 2013 Telenav, Inc. Page 72 of 75
Can I shut off the Virtual Billboards at the bottom of t he navigation screen?
You cannot remove the Virtual Billboards at the bottom of the screen. The Virtual Billboards will occasionally appear along the route.
Can I change how quickly or slowly the Virtua l Billboar ds appear?
You cannot control how quickly or slowly Virtual Billboards appear. These will only appear one at a time, depending on your proximity to suggested locations. Only one or two locations will typically appear on short trips.
Why is Scout showing locati ons that I ha ve alre ady passed?
Most Virtual Billboards are designed to appear before you pass suggested locations. Depending on how fast you are travelling and the actual route, suggested locations may sometimes appear behind your current location. Virtual Billboards will always appear close to your route.
