1. Welcome

The Scout™ v1.2 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,” “Traffic 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 search result ads that offer merchant review, 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 85.

2. Safety and Legal Notices

Please read this section carefully 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 equipment safely.
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 83.

1. Choose the Route Settings button at the top-right of the Route
Planning screen for editing options.
2. After you have customized your options, choose Get Route for
directions.

© 2013 Telenav, Inc. Page 33 of 85
Avoid Highway – Use local streets instead of highways if possible.
Pedestrian – Find walking directions.

9.12 Moving to the Nearest 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.

9.13 Audible Guidance 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 Extras >> Settings >> Audio Guidance determines whether turn directions and traffic are included in the audio or not.

9.14 Audio Replay

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

9.15 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. If you are viewing a Follow Me map, tap the Reroute button on the screen for 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.

15. Ford SYNC® AppLink™

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.
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.

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 route
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.

21. FAQs

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 launch the application?
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.
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 conditions for GPS navigation?
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 near buildings and other tall objects?
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.
© 2013 Telenav, Inc. Page 81 of 85
How can I get a route when there is no GPS?
When there is no GPS, the navigator is not able to provide turn-by-turn navigation in real time. However, you can get a static route with a summary of turn-by-turn directions, detailed traffic information, and a map view of your entire route. To do this, go to Dashboard >> Drive and enter a destination. On the Route Planning screen, choose the Directions button to get a static route. Alternatively, you can do the following:
1. Choose the Route Settings box at the top of the screen for editing options.
2. In the screen that appears, tap the Origin choice and enter or choose an address.
3. When you choose Get Route >> Directions, the Navigator will show a screen with turn-by-turn directions.
4. You can choose Route on the navigation screen to view a map summary or traffic conditions along your route.
What happens if I’m using Scout for driving directions and I lose the GPS signal while driving across a bridge or through a tunnel or lose the GPS signal for some other reason?
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 freezing up on me. How do I fix this?
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?”
You may remove multiple addresses by logging into your Telenav account online at www.scout.me. In Recents, check the addresses you want to remove. You may also do this from your handset in the Recent Places screen. Press-and­hold an address and choose Delete for an individual deletion or choose the Delete All on the bottom of the screen.
© 2013 Telenav, Inc. Page 82 of 85
I noticed there are stars next to some restaurants I have viewed or saved. How is popularity rated?
Popularity is calculated by the user-generated ratings, averaged by considering the scores of the ratings and the number of users that have rated the location. A location accrues points based on how many stars it is given by Scout users. When a location consistently achieves above-average ratings, its popularity count increases. Negative ratings lower the popularity count of the location.
How long are ratings kept?
Ratings expire after two years.
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 Billboards at the bottom of the screen now?
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.
Can I shut off the Virtual Billboards at the bottom of the 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 Virtual Billboards 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 locations that I have already 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.
