TeleNav GPS Navigator™ utilizes the integration of GPS position determination technology, the Java™ programming
environment, and access to your wireless carrier’s data network. Supported Android phones provide both the Java
environment and access to the wireless network. Depending on your subscription, 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 phone’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.
The ability to set up alerts for your daily commute and view any traffic incidents on the map of the route.
A Directory feature that allows you to find businesses or points of interest near your current location, around
a Favorite, 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.
Weather conditions and movie listings for your area.
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 map colors, etc.
For a comparison of features between Basic and Premium accounts, please refer to Appendix A on page 59

to use the Find function to find your desired address. To use the Find function, enter a First or Last name of a contact in
the Find text box. As you type, the closest match(es) will appear at the top of the list.
If you are not directly on a street, for example you are in a large parking lot or driveway, you will see a screen that shows
TeleNav GPS Navigator’s best estimate of where you are with guidance on how to move to the first street.
Audible Guidance Tones
TeleNav GPS Navigator delivers spoken audible directions as you drive. A preparatory audible tone is typically heard no
less than 30 seconds before reaching a turn, and an action audible tone is typically heard no less than 10 seconds
before reaching a turn. The preparatory audible tone may not be sounded if the distance to the next turn only allows time
for the action tone.
The lead times for the audible guidance tones 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 determines whether street names are included in the messages or not. Enabling street names
increases packet data usage.
Audio Replay
To repeat an audio prompt during navigation, press the top navigation bar.
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, the TeleNav GPS Navigator automatically creates a new route to your desired destination, audibly
announce, “Rerouting,” and give you a new set of instructions.
If you realize you have missed a turn or have otherwise gotten off the route, just keeping driving. TeleNav GPS
Navigator detects your current location and recalculates a new set of driving directions to get you back on track.
It may take approximately 15 to 30 seconds for TeleNav GPS Navigator to update your route. If during this process you
make additional deviations from your current route, TeleNav GPS Navigator may have to contact its servers for another
new route.
Since TeleNav GPS Navigator 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 TeleNav GPS Navigator to recalculate your
route.
Navigation Options
The default navigation view is 3D moving maps, but you may wish to use the 2D Map instead.
The Options menu has the following options:
Search Along
Use the Search menu to find the desired locations along your navigation route. For example, find every Mexican
restaurant on your route between San Francisco and Sacramento. This also displays how many miles off your route
each restaurant is. Select a restaurant from the Search Along list to get driving directions from your current location to
the restaurant.
Recalculate Route
Use this option to refresh the calculation to your destination, for example, if you have selected the “Avoid Traffic Delays”
routing option and you want to proactively refresh your route to optimize for traffic.
You can also use “Recalculate Route” if during a navigation session you would like to edit your Route Style. Remember
to pull over safely before interacting with the device. Then choose No, Edit Style on the Recalculate pop-up to be taken

Whenever TeleNav GPS Navigator needs to contact its servers (such as when generating a route), it uses your carrier’s
data service. When TeleNav GPS Navigator 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.
When incoming calls are blocked due to TeleNav GPS Navigator’s use of your carrier’s data network, phone calls go to
your voice mail if you have a voice mail service available.

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.
Low battery
The GPS will not work if the device’s battery charge level is below about 15%. Starting with a freshly charged standard
battery, we have used TeleNav GPS Navigator for around 4 hours before it became necessary to connect the charging
cable. If you get a low battery warning, connect a charging cable as soon as possible. In some cases, you may need to
wait a while for the battery to become sufficiently charged so that the GPS receiver will work.
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.
TeleNav GPS Navigator encountered an erro r
TeleNav GPS Navigator 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.
TeleNav GPS Navigator not available
If you get an advisory message that TeleNav GPS Navigator is not available, exit the TeleNav GPS Navigator
application and then re-launch it. If the problem recurs, it may be due to a temporary TeleNav GPS Navigator server
outage.
Unable to generate a route
TeleNav GPS Navigator 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 caused by errors in the map data in the
area around the destination.
Unable to reach TeleNav GPS Navigator server
You may see this message for several different reasons: a) your data plan is not active, b) your WIX services are not
enabled, c) you are outside of coverage, d) the data network is currently experiencing difficulties, or
e) the TeleNav GPS Navigator server is not acknowledging your phone’s attempt to communicate.
You should call TeleNav Customer Support at 1-888-353-6284.
Your account has expired
You do not have a valid TeleNav GPS Navigator account. Order TeleNav GPS Navigator by calling TeleNav Customer
Support at 1-888-353-6284.
The data plan allows you to access nationwide routes, maps, and Directory content from the TeleNav GPS Navigator
servers using the data communication features of your phone. These services are different from your cellular airtime. To
order a data plan from your wireless carrier, please contact their customer support directly.
How long after I apply for the data serv ice until I can use my TeleNav GPS Nav igator system?
Generally, it takes until the following business morning before the data services are fully provisioned. If you already have
data services, it should be no more than 4 hours before an added TeleNav GPS Navigator plan is active.
Does TeleNav GPS Navigator use up my v oice plan minutes?
TeleNav GPS Navigator uses data to provide its navigation functions. Using data does not use any of your voice
minutes. However, calling the Voice Address Input System does use about 75 seconds per address entered. The Voice
Call feature internal to the TeleNav GPS Navigator application also uses voice minutes.
How do I conserve battery life on my device?
To help conserve battery life, set the backlight to At Turn. This option turns the backlight on only when a turn is
approaching. Go to Settings >> Preference >> Navigation >> Backlight and change the option to At Turn.
How do I increase or decrease the voice promp t volume and contr ol the backlighting?
The backlight and speaker volume levels can be controlled from Menu >> Settings >> Navigation >> Backlight. Speaker
volume can also be controlled with the volume keys on the right-hand side of the device. If the speaker volume is set to
at least mid-range and you are still not receiving audio prompts, verify that your device profile is not set to vibrate or
quiet. To change your profile settings, highlight the Profiles icon on the Android main menu (it looks like a loudspeaker)
and press the trackpad/ball.
Why don’t I hear audio navigation prom pts when I am using a Bl uetooth head set?
If you are using a Bluetooth headset, be sure to press the “$” (Speaker) key on the device while in navigation mode so
that you will be able to hear the audio prompts. A Bluetooth symbol will be shown in the upper-left corner of the screen if
you have redirected the audio through a Bluetooth headset. See “Using a Bluetooth Headset” on page 11
information.
Why can’t I get the “Call in Address” feature to work for enteri ng an address?
If you have never placed a call on your new device, the “Call in Address” feature may not work. To resolve this issue,
simply place a call from the device’s Applications menu. When prompted, type in your home area code and continue
with the call. The “Call in Address” feature will now work after you re-launch TeleNav GPS Navigator.
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 is ideal GPS environment?
The GPS requires an open, clear view of the sky. Buildings, covered parking areas, tunnels, and dense foliage can
cause the GPS receiver to be unable to locate a GPS satellite or may cause extended initialization time (time to first
GPS fix).
If you are parked in a covered parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you move into an open area and
then begin to use the TeleNav GPS Navigator service.
Why does the GPS not work near buildings an d other tall objects?
The GPS uses signals from satellites so it needs a clear view of the sky. Tall buildings and other objects that block the
GPS receiver’s view to the sky may make it impossible to determine your location. Sometimes the satellites are not
overhead but near the horizon; in these cases, the GPS receiver in your phone must have a clear view of the horizon.
The TeleNav GPS Navigator application on your phone alerts you if you do not have a valid GPS signal. If this happens,
move to an area where there is a clear view of the sky so the receiver can hear the GPS signals from space.
What happens if I’m using TeleNav GPS Navigator for driv ing directions and I lose the GPS signal while driving
across a bridge or through a tunnel or lose the GPS signal for so me other reason?
TeleNav GPS Navigator remembers the speed at which you were driving before losing the GPS signal. TeleNav GPS
Navigator 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. TeleNav GPS Navigator recalculates your current position when you regain
a GPS signal and adjusts your driving directions accordingly.
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, select Drive To and enter a destination. Then, while the software is attempting to get GPS, choose Edit Route.
In the screen that appears, choose Origin and type in your current address. When you choose OK, the Navigator will
show a screen with turn-by-turn directions. You can press the Menu key to access Traffic and a static map view of your
route.
In addition, your device may be able to obtain an initial location fix from a location without a clear view of the GPS
satellites. In this case, you can also get a map view and static route of your trip, but would not be able to receive
real-time, turn-by-turn navigation. To proceed with real-time, turn-by-turn navigation, please move to an open area
with a clear view of the sky.
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 TeleNav GPS
Navigator 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 and reviews expire after two years.
How often are your maps updated?
Our maps are updated quarterly.
How do I reinstall the application on my phone?
For Android phones, go to the Android main menu >> Web Browser type inhttp://ota.telenav.com/ota/tm
.
Why do I need a PIN number?
Your 4-digit PIN is used to log in to the pre-planning website.
How do I find my PIN number?
Your PIN can be found in the Settings menu. You can use this PIN for pre-planning on http://www.telenav.com
I have recently changed phone numbers. Ho w do I move my subscription over to my ne w phone number?
Please contact your carrier to change the phone number.
TeleNav GPS Navigator is freezing up on me. How do I fix this?
If TeleNav GPS Navigator is freezing, power your phone off for about 20 seconds before turning it back on. Once you’ve
done this, try launching TeleNav GPS Navigator again. If you are still experiencing issues please contact your carrier.
You may remove multiple addresses by logging into the TeleNav GPS Navigator pre-planning website at
