Telenav GPS Navigator™ utilizes the integration of GPS position determination technology, the Qualcomm® Brew
MP™ programming environment, and access to your wireless carrier’s data network. The Telenav GPS Navigator
application provides:
•GPS navigation that punctually guides you turn-by-turn to any destination address in the Continental U.S
and Canada. If you miss a turn or get off-track, Telenav GPS Navigator will calculate a new route for you.
You can enter one or more destination addresses by keying or speaking directly into the device, entering
them on the Telenav GPS Navigator website, or by pulling your contacts from your device’s contact list.
Optionally, you can input a remote origin and receive Driving Directions from that origin address to the
selected destination address.
•Audio and visual traffic alerts while driving or viewing maps, as well as traffic rerouting capabilities to
minimize delays on your trip.
•A Search feature that allows you to find businesses or points of interest near your current location, around a
waypoint, around an entered address, or around an airport. You can call the business first to check
availability of an item or get a reservation and then navigate to it. You can also save the address for use
later in the day.
•Maps of the area around your current location, a marked Favorite, or an address you enter manually or
have previously entered. You can pan the map (adjust left/right/up/down), and zoom in or out. You can also
mark a point under the cursor as a Favorite.
• The ability to mark the current location as a Favorite that can be labeled.
• A Weather feature to view current weather conditions, as well as a 7-day forecast, for a location that you
choose.
•Commute Alerts for frequent commutes. Specify the origin, destination, alert time, and frequency. A text
message or email will be sent to you at the alert time with any traffic information for the specified route.
•The ability to personalize the application by selecting the use of U.S. customary or metric distance units, the
language for audible guidance, the volume and backlight level, etc.
•Diagnostic Tools for self-troubleshooting.
You can also use many of Telenav GPS Navigator’s features on the Telenav GPS Navigator website, such as getting
driving directions (Route Planning) and using the Search directory to find businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and
gas stations. You can also use the Telenav GPS Navigator website to add an address to your My Favorites list and
manage your My Favorites and Recent Places lists.
Please read this section carefully before using Telenav GPS Navigator
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 GPS Navigator.
WARNING: Keep your eyes on the r oad.
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 phone 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 phone if your
ability to drive responsibly is decreased by using the Telenav GPS Navigator application.
WARNING: Install the equ ipment safel y.
If you are using a phone mounting kit, make sure that it does not obstruct your vision. You may wish to charge the phone
while using Telenav GPS Navigator. If so, make sure that the charging cable does not interfere with any of the vehicle’s
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 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 navigation 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 navigation instructions.
3. Data Service Options
The Telenav GPS Navigator application that you install on your phone requires a means of accessing the public Internet,
which is typically provided by your carrier’s data network.
The Telenav GPS Navigator application on your phone communicates with the Telenav GPS Navigator 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 phone. 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 GPS Navigator application.
The following keys on your phone are referenced in this manual as follows. Depending on your phone model, the key
placements may slightly vary from the graphics shown below.
Left softkeyThe key in the upper left corner of the keypad.
The left softkey performs the function directly above it on the menu bar of the screen. The left softkey
is typically used to go Back one screen, Close a screen, or Exit the application.
Right softkeyThe key in the upper right corner of the keypad. The right softkey performs the function directly above
it on the menu bar of the screen.
The right softkey is typically used as Yes or Go (usually the same as pressing the OK button),
although sometimes it opens a special menu or puts the keypad in a different mode. For example,
the right softkey switches you between alpha and numeric modes when you type information in a text
field. In the illustration above, the right softkey executes the Go command and takes you to the My
Favorites screen.
Back buttonThe Back button is normally only used to delete entries in a text field. For consistency throughout the
Telenav GPS Navigator application, consider using the left softkey instead of the Back button to go
back to the previous screen.
OK button The Menu/OK button in the center of the circular navigation key.
Navigation keys The circular navigation key that surrounds the OK button. The navigation key has four possible
choices - left, right, up, and down. These are referred to as the left navigation key, the right navigation
key, the up navigation key, and the down navigation key.
END key The END key exits the application and returns you to the Sprint Main Menu. Pressing and holding the
END key turns off the phone.
To key in addresses and business names, use the keypad on your phone. Refer to the user’s manual for your phone as
some phones may have different methods by which you choose between letters, numbers, and other characters.
To launch the Telenav GPS Navigator application on your phone, do the following steps:
1. Choose Menu and then Maps.
2. Choose “Telenav GPS Navigator” on the Maps screen to launch the application.
NOTE: If you are doing another function on your phone and want to go to the Main Menu so you can launch the Telenav
GPS Navigator application, press the END key once
3. The Telenav GPS Navigator splash screen appears.
NOTE: On subsequent launches, if a newer version of Telenav GPS Navigator is available, you will see a prompt to
upgrade right after the splash screen. If you choose to upgrade, follow the on-screen prompts. If not, choose
“Remind Me Later” to continue using the application.
4. The Warning screen appears, choose Exit to reject this warning and exit application startup, or choose Go to
accept this warning and start Telenav GPS Navigator.
5. On the Login screen, enter your First and Last name (as you have registered on the Telenav GPS Navigator
website). Then scroll down and choose “Submit.”
NOTE: The first time you launch the application, you will be offered a brief Product Tour. If you choose to skip the tour
at this point, you can always access it again in the Settings menu.
6. Speech Input
Instead of typing in an address or other keyword, or choosing a menu on screen, you can use the voice-recognition
system to speak in a command, address, and/or keyword.
1. Choose the Speech Input icon from the Main Menu, the Drive To Menu, or the Search Menu.
2. Following the on-screen prompts to say a command, address, and/or keyword.
3. Wait for the application to react.
The appropriate screen will then appear. For example: If you say “Map here”, Telenav GPS Navigator will display a map
of your location as if you had chosen Maps & Traffic from the Home screen.
• Address – Enter a street address by typing or speaking.
• Resume Trip – If your last trip was interrupted before you arrived at your destination, you can choose this
option to resume navigation from your current location.

• Favorites – Choose a Favorite place to get directions to it. These are addresses that you have found and
saved in the past

or located with other Drive To options. See “History” on page 25
• Shared – View addresses you have shared with other users. See “Shared” on page 26 for more details.
• Contacts – Select saved contacts from your device’s Address Book.
• Business - Search the directory and find the addresses and device numbers of businesses such as
restaurants, hotels, gas stations, etc. Sort businesses by average star rating and read user reviews. Once
you find what you are looking for, you can get audible and visual driving or walking directions, view a map,
or place a call (depends on device number availability). The search result is automatically saved to your
Recent Places list.
•Airport – Quickly find airports by 3-letter code or city name. Airports closest to your current location are
automatically suggested.
NOTE: When you enter or choose an address, city, place, or airport, the address will automatically be saved to your
Recent Places list.
After you choose an address, the Getting Route progress bar will appear. If you want to change your destination, starting
point, or route style, choose Edit Route before the progress bar reaches 100%. You will be taken to the Trip
Confirmation screen, where you can choose an option to edit. See “Navigation Options” on page 25
