TeleNav™ 4 utilizes the integration of GPS position determination technology, the Java™ programming
environment, and access to your wireless ca rrier’s data net work. The Resea rch in Motion Bla ckBerry 8100™
provides both the Java environment and ac cess to the wireless net work. GPS location informati on is provided by a
Bluetooth GPS receiver accessory. The TeleNav appli cation provides:
•GPS navigation that punctually guides you turn-by-turn to any desti nation addre ss in the Contin ental US. If you
miss a turn or get off-track, TeleNav will calculate a new route for you. You ca n enter one or more destinatio n
addresses by calling an automatic voice reco gnition syst em, entering them on the TeleNav website , keying
them directly into the handheld or by pulling them directly from the BlackBerry Address Book. Optionally, you
can input a remote origin and receive Driving Dire ctions from that ori gin address to th e selected destinatio n
address.
•A Business Finder feature that allows you to find businesse s or points of interest near your current location,
around a waypoint, around an entered address, or arou nd an airport. You can call the bu siness first to check
availability of an item, or get a reservation, and then navigate t o it; or you can save t he address for use later i n
the day.
•Maps of the area around your current location; a marked way point; or an ad dress you enter manu ally, or have
previously entered. You can pan (adjust left/right or up/down) the map, and zoom in or out. You can also mark
a point under the cursor as a waypoint.
•A viewer that displays your current location relative to a selected waypoint and to navigate relative to that
selected waypoint.
• The ability to mark the current location as a waypoint tha t can be labeled.
• A compass-like indicator presenting your direction of travel, location, and speed.
• The ability to personalize the application by sel ecting the u se of US customa ry or metric distan ce units, volume
and backlight level, timing of displayed graphics, etc.
TeleNav’s servers support these enhanced services vi a the carri er’s data network.

This section discusses the variety of ways you can select a previo usly entered address, e nter a new one, or use a
Business or Airport Address. This inform ation is pre sented here since the tech niques for settin g addresses are
used throughout TeleNav Address Selector:
TeleNav presents a list of options for you to choose from wh en a) setting a
destination address, b) setting an origin address, c) d efining the cente r of a
displayed map, or d) anchoring a Business Finder sea rch. These options
include: a) using a Recent Address, b) a Favorite Address, c) enteri ng an
address from the keypad, d) calling in the add ress using t he auto voice
entry system, e) using an airport’s address, f) using the address of a
businesse and g) retrieving an address from the BlackBerry Address book.
Recent Addresses
Recent Addresses are addresses used recently fo r navigation, directi ons,
business finder searches, or mapping. When the 26 it em capacity of the list
is exceeded, the newest address pushe s the oldest off the li st. When an
address in the list is used within TeleNav, it is promoted to the head of the
list.
Use “Refresh Recent Stops List” to pull in any addresses you entered using
the www.telenav.com
Preplanning feature.
Favorites
The Favorites list is similar to the Recent Stops list. Favorite addresses are
expressly marked to be saved, and should be l abeled. When the 2 6
element capacity of the Favorites list is ex ceeded, the least recently used
address in the list is replaced by the address being adde d, and the
preceding order of the list is preserved.
Prune the list periodically to avoid an address you want to kee p from being
replaced. Many TeleNav users enter their home a nd work addre sses in the
Address Input Form shown above with a label, a nd then check t he Save to
Favorites option so they can easily reuse the add resses later.
TIP: Favorites is where you can label and keep your Home, Wo rk, Health Clu b, and other addre sses.
The form allows you to specify a street address as, “123 Jo hnson St”, or an
intersection as “Johnson at Main”. Note the use of AT or AND when
entering crossing streets. There is provisio n for an optional Nam e (a label),
such as “mikes office”. The label field ignores certain punctu ation symbols.
TIP: Entering a City and State code or ZIP code is mandatory. With the
street address omitted, the use of city or ZIP will specify a point in the center
of the selected locale.
Use the Enter key to advance down the rows of the form. When you press
Enter and the entry caret is in the Label field at the bottom, the content will
be submitted to the TeleNav servers for validation. T he same is true when
you select Submit from the MENU.
TIP: Coaching for the use of each row is availa ble using the ME NU Help
selection.
TIP: You can advance through this form after enteri ng data using the Enter key. Power users oft en use the Ent er
key to progress through the application, an d the trackball to ma ke selection s. Other power user s navigate
principally using the trackball.
Voice Address Input

The recognition system may reply back wit h an incorrectl y recognized input. When this ha ppens, simply say, “Go Back”, and repeat the data entry. The voi ce system ma y advise you that a street number i s out of range and
provide the proper range of numbers for you to use. Provide a number that is within the range or nearest the en d of
the range that you are sure is valid. If you say Intersecti on and then p rovide a crossi ng street name, the voic e
system may advise you that the streets you provided do not actually cross and allow you to change either street
name, or both street names. Select the name you want to chang e by saying it, and then provide t he correct name.
You can also say my Home or my Work to program the se addresses for u se on the handset. If yo u want to
change one of these addresses, say my Home or my Work, wait for th e current address to be repeated back to
you, and then say Update. You can also say Airport, and then give the n ame of the airport, it s location city o r its
market city name.
Using an Airport as an address

until you have reached the list of matching busines ses, d) sele ct a specific
business, and e) use MENU to display a list of options.
You can select to save the address, or use it in the curre nt application context.
For example, if you are trying to get a Map, you can use Finder to get a
business address, and then get a Map around that addre ss.
Address Book
When you select Address B ook, Tele Nav examines the BlackBerry Address
Book for contacts that have addresses. TeleNav then prompts you to enter
the first few letters of either the first or last name of the contact you want to
find.
TIP: If you find an address in your Address Book, you can start Tele Nav from
within the Address Book by pressing the MENU key, a nd selectin g the
appropriate TeleNav function from within the Menu.
After completing the search for the contact that matches the given criteria all of
the matching results will be displayed. On the left sid e of the name is a “+”
symbol that you can click with the trackball to expose either the h ome or work
address, or both.
Select the specific address you want, and press the tra ckball button, or p ress
Enter.
The address content is passed to the Address Input Form so that yo u can edit

Maps, d) GPS Tools, e) Preferences, and f) Support.
You Exit TeleNav from this menu by pressing the ESCape button. You can
return to TeleNav Home using MENUs from elsewhere within TeleNav.
Navigation and Directions
Upon entering Navigation, the destination Address Selector form described above a ppears first. You select, fin d, or
enter an address, and are taken to the destination address confirmation screen.
On the confirmation screen, mark “Save To Favorites” using t he SPACE
key and the address will be saved in the Favorites list after it is validated.
You can change the route type (fastest, shortest, et c.) using ME NU to make
an alternate choice to the Preference value you set.
When you are ready to get the route, highlight “Get route”, and p ress the
trackball or Enter for a menu of options.
The first option is “Start from here”, and the se cond option i s “Set a differe nt
origin”.
Selecting the first option invokes the Navigation function using y our current
location determined by getting a GPS fix as the origin. There will be brief
activity to get an up-to-the-minute GPS location fix, foll owed by a network
transaction while the handheld sends the fix and destination ad dress to the
TeleNav servers that respond with the routi ng data.
Selecting the second option takes you to the origin A ddress Selector so you
can pick, find, or enter the origin address. (These screens are shown
above). You will then be taken to the origin addres s confirmation screen
shown on the right.
On the confirmation screen, use the SPACE key to mark “Save To
Favorites” so the Origin address will be saved in the Favorites list after it is
validated. You can also change the routing style by pressing the SPACE
key. Then, highlight “Get directions”, and press E nter or the trackball to get
the directions.
If are using GPS Navigation and you are in a parking lot or similar area where you r location does not exactly m ap to
a specific street, you may see a pop-up that shows TeleNav’s be st estimate of which street you are on, and allows
you to change it. If you elect to change the starting street, a list of neighboring streets will be presented, and you
can make an alternate selection from the list. If you do nothing, the first pop-up will disappear after a few seconds.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the street you’re on, simply start driving. TeleNav wi ll revise its estimate of your
location, and provide you with a new route if needed.
Guidance Instructions
Within a few seconds, TeleNav will contact the TeleNav server, obtain an optimal rout e to your destination, and
display the first instruction telling you how to start your trip from your current location.
NOTE: Unless you are moving, GPS will not provide TeleNav with your direction of travel. If this is the case, the
first few guidance instructions may be incorrect sin ce TeleNav may make an i ncorrect assumption. However, once
you start moving, TeleNav will learn your direction of travel and provide a corrected set of guidance instructions.
GPS navigation and Non-GPS directions screens have sli ghtly different content a s explained belo w. The large
main turn type icon indicates which way and how aggr essively you should turn when you reach the intersection.
With Intersection maps turned on in Preferences, you will see a map as you approach an int ersection on you r route.
The map is oriented so that the segment you are on will be drawn upward from the bottom of the screen so that you
do not have to deal with a confusing North-ori ented view. The main t urn icon is fitted o n the right as sho wn below.
When the next turn along the route almost imme diately follows the tu rn indicated by the main turn i con, a second
turn icon appears where the speed and heading information i s shown below.
If you have the icon timing Preference set to “2 mins before next turn” and you will be traveling on the same
roadway for a mile or more, the Upcoming and Current Street names will be the name of the street you are on, and
the main or upper turn type icon will be a vertical arrow. As you approach the turn, the icon will change to indicate
the type of turn you should make. As you move, the distan ce to turn and the remaini ng distance will decrease.
Eventually, you will see the destination arrival screen. This screen will show you how far it is to your destination
and whether it is on the left or right side of the street or road.
When you arrive at your destination, use MENU to return to TeleNav ho me menu.
TeleNav delivers audible guidance messages as you drive. An informational message will be heard shortly after
making a turn, provided that there is time to deliver it and the preparatory messa ge that follows. The preparato ry
message will be heard no less than 30 seconds before reaching a turn, and t he action messag e will be heard no
less than 10 seconds before reaching the turn. The preparatory m essage may not be heard if the dist ance to go
only allows time for the action message. The lead-time for th ese messages is incre ased proportionally to yo ur
driving speed to allow more time for changi ng lanes on freeway s than on surface streets. A Preference setting
determines whether street names ar e included in t he messages, or n ot. Enabling street name s increases packe t
data usage.
Audio Replay
If you wish to hear an updated informational messa ge for the current route segment, sim ply press the Space Key.
Miss a turn?
Whenever you miss a turn, turn the wrong way, tu rn too early or too l ate, or otherwis e get off the planned ro ute to
your destination, TeleNav will automatically create a n ew route to your desired destin ation, audibly an nounce, “New
Route”, and give you a new set of instructions. If you reali ze you have gotten off the route, ju st keeping go ing.
TeleNav will detect your “departure” and calculate a ne w route to get you back on track.
Please note that it takes about 15 seconds for TeleNav t o update your ro ute. If during this process you also make
adjustments, TeleNav will probably have to contact it s servers for a nother new route. Reroutin g uses packet d ata,
so it is advisable for you to try to stay on the route. Since Tel eNav GPS Navigatio n requires the network, if yo u are
off route and outside of your carrier’s coverage area, you must return to coverage for GPS Navigation to work
again.
Preview and Driving Directions Modes
You can enter the Preview mode from GPS Navigation by pressi ng MENU and selecti ng Preview from the p op-up
menu. If you specified “Set a different origin” to enter t he Driving Directions mode, the behavior i s similar.
Before the first of several directions pages, TeleNav present s a screen
describing the use of the keys to move through the d irections pages, and
the use of the SPACE key to play the associated audible message. Use the
volume control to change the audio replay volum e level.
The QW and OP keys change the display page s.
The next screen will be the directions screen for the segment you are
currently traversing. After you have looked ahead along the route, you can
press the MENU key to display a menu that allows you to return to GPS Nav. If you are still on the route, the transition back to navigation should be
instantaneous. Otherwise, TeleNav will have to update the route.
After you have looked at the route, you can use MENU you to return to GPS Nav. Since you are p robably not on
the route, TeleNav will have to obtain a GPS location fix to set the ori gin, and obtain a new route from that location
to the established destination.
The GPS quality indicator is not relevant or shown when operating in this
mode. Instead, a fraction is displayed showing the displayed page number
as the numerator, and the total number of pages as the denominator. Use
the O and P keys to scroll through the pages. Example (as show n):
are on page 1 of 5pages, the fraction will be 1 / 5
If you
Web address entry
Go to the TeleNav website, and log in using your ac count number and PIN. Then select preplan my trip, maps or
driving directions. Type in the address you want to go to and click on the submit link. The address will be
validated and appear in the list of addresses fu rther down the web page. To pull these addresses int o your
handheld, use the “Refresh List” option on the Recent Stop s screen.
Address validation
Once you have entered the street address or selected the crossing street
name, TeleNav will check to see if the address you entered can be found.
This checking makes sure that: a) the ad dress (doo r) numbe r you entered i s
within the range of assigned numbers for the named street and b) when
crossing street names are provided, the streets do actually cross. If either
condition is false, or the address is too new to be found in the mapping
database, the server will s end a message to your handheld requesting you
to correct the provided information. For example:
Biz Finder
Using Biz Finder requires a TeleNav subscription.
Select Biz Finder and use the Address Sele ctor screen, and perhaps the
Address Input screen to help TeleNav determine where y ou want to search.
Once you have picked a point or an area, you can search for bu sinesses or

This menu option allows you to mark and label you r current location fo r
future reference. If you choose Mark a Favorite there will be brief activity to
determine the GPS position, and then you will ne ed to enter a lab el or
accept the default label that is based on the current date.
After the waypoint is saved, you will be returned to the TeleNav Tools menu.
Selecting Relative Location allows you to see the spatial relationship of a
selected remote point relative to your current location. The remove points
are in lists of: a) Recent Stops (an addre ss used for navigatio n, for
example), b) Favorite Addresses that you labeled and marked to be
saved, or c) marked Waypoints. Select the category, and then select a
specific point (see the Recent Stops list above as an example). The
handheld will try to get a GPS fix, and then display a plot showing you r
relative location to the selected point.
The “figure” is your location, and the flag is the selected p oint. The header
text is a label derived from the selected point informati on. The view is North
oriented, and the approximate distance to t he selected point is shown. The
green diamond on the perimeter of the course ov er ground (comp ass)
indicator is the relative bearing from where you are to t he selected item. If
you are going straight toward the location, the green diamond will overlay
the red diamond at the top of the indicator.
NOTE: The plot and distance will not be shown when there is no GPS
data.
TIP: When you park your car in an open lot, mark it s location as a favorite.
Later you can use Relative Location to assist you in finding where you
parked.
Deleting Favorites and Recent Stops
The TeleNav Tools provide separate selections for deleting Favorite s and
Recent Stops.
Pick the type of list from the TeleNav Tools menu, and then ch eck those
items you want deleted using the SPACE key. Press MENU to expose a
menu that allows you to delete the selected items, or navigate back Home.
When the list appears, move through the list with the trackball, and p ress
SPACE to set the check boxes on the left. Then press the trackball button
to bring up the menu shown here.
“Select/deselect” works just like the SPACE key. “Invert selection” will
uncheck all checked items, and check all unchec ked items.
NOTE: There is no provision for recovering an unfortunate del etion!
Maps
This service will obtain and present a map around a selected or newly entered address. The Add ress Selector
screen shown above is used to start the process of selecting an exi sting address, or en tering a new o ne.
If you choose Here (your current location), there will be brief activity while TeleNav employs GPS to determi ne your
location.
After you have selected or entered an address, there will be brief activity indicated by arrows appearing in the upper
right corner of the display while the handheld obtains th e map from the Tele Nav servers.
The displayed map is always oriented with North toward s the top of the
screen. When you move (pan) or zoom, there may be brief activity to fetch
the updated map.
On the Pearl, the QW and YX keys move the map vertic ally, and the AS
and L keys move the map horizontally. The 8100 inform ation screen is not
shown here.
The numbered keys set the zoom level starting from lev el 3. The zoom
level ranges from 1 through 9. If you are on zoom level 3, the fraction will be
3/9, as shown in the example on the right.
Press MENU and select Mark as Favorite to create a new favorite based
on the current position of the map cursor.
There are two Voice Input numbers listed. In some cases, calls plac ed to the 877 numb er do not carry Calle r ID.
When this happens you must enter your phone number followe d by pressing the “#” key, and then enter yo ur
TeleNav PIN followed by pressing the “#” key so that Tel eNav can assign the address you dictate to your a ccount.
If the automated attendant asks for account numbe r in the geographi cal area where y ou most frequently u se
TeleNav, you should try the 408 number. Ease of using the Voice Address In put system is proba bly a more
important consideration than the minor change in your billing.
GPS Source
For the 8100 Pearl, the only workable option is to us e an external Bluetooth GPS receiver.
Connection Type
Normally, you will not adjust this setting. If you are using your BlackBerry for corporate e-mail via a BlackBerry
Exchange Server (BES), then you should consult your IT department BES administrator about allowing you to use
Mobile Data Service (MDS) as a mean s to access the Internet. Yo ur administ rator will need to enable MDS on
your BlackBerry for this method to work.

Activity Messages
Whenever the TeleNav application on your handheld ne eds to contact t he
TeleNav server, as it does when generating a route or map, it uses you r
carrier’s data service. While it is using the data service, other services such
as SMS 2-way messaging, and conventional cellular will not be available.
Typically this interruption of other services will last no mo re than 20
seconds. When TeleNav is using data service to conta ct the TeleNav
servers, it will present a message like: a) Reading GPS…, b) Waiti ng …, c)
Sending …, d) Receiving…, e) Logging in…, f) Pe rsonalizing …, g) Loading
… and h) Storing ... There is also a small network activity indicator
comprised of two arrows in the upper right corne r of the display that wil l
When your handheld receives an incoming call ring, it wi ll ring, and display a
screen that allows you to take or ignore the call. If you take the call,
TeleNav will be operating but “suspended”. After the call, press the
ESCape button to end the call. At this point, TeleNav should resume from
its suspended state. If you are navigating, and have gotten off the rout e,
TeleNav will sound a deviation jingle and obtain a n ew route for you.
NOTE: When TeleNav briefly uses the data net work, incoming call s may
be blocked.
NOTE: When you are on an incoming call, TeleNav is still running, and will
periodically collect a GPS fix from the inter nal GPS receiver. W hen this fix is ta k en,
there may be a very brief loss of intelligibility on the received audi o from the caller .
Switching Between Applications
Press the ALT key and the ESCape button concurrently to launch the BlackB erry application swit cher. This will
allow you to leave TeleNav running in suspended mode while l ooking at your e-mail, or using an other application.
When you use the switcher to return to TeleNav, it will move to the foreground and resume operation. If while
another application was in the foreground you h ave left the navigation route, TeleNav will sound a deviation ji ngle
and obtain a new route for you.
Calendar and e-Mail Events
When a scheduled calendar event occurs, or an e-mail m essage arrives
while you are using TeleNav, a pop-up notification will appear similar to that
shown on the right. You can interact with the Calendar or e-mail event by
Opening it, or you can Dismiss it. If you Open the a pplication a ssociated
with the notification, TeleNav will be suspended while you are interacting
with the other application, but it will still be navigating. However, if you get
off route, TeleNav will not be able to recover until you leave the other
application. TeleNav does not use the netwo rk while it is suspende d.

12.FAQ’s
How do I increase or decrease the voice promp t volume and contr ol the backlighting?
The backlight and speaker volume levels can be contro lled from within Tele Nav’s Preference s. If the speaker
volume is set to at least mid-range and you are still not receiving audio prompts verify that your handheld profile is
not set to vibrate or quiet. To change your profile settings, hi ghlight the Profiles i con that looks l ike a loudspeak er
and press the Enter key.
Why do I need the data service?
The data plan allows you to access nationwide routes, maps, and Finder content from the T eleNav servers u sing
the data communication features of your handheld. These services are different from your cellular airtime.
To order a data plan call your carrier’s custome r support team or visit your deale r.
How long after I apply for the data serv ice until I can use my TeleNav system?
Generally, it takes until the following business morning before the data servi ces are fully provision ed. If you already
have data services it should be no more than 4 hours before an added TeleNav plan is active.
Does TeleNav use up my v oice plan minu tes?
TeleNav uses data to provide the navigation function. Using data does not u se any of your voice minute s.
However, calling the Voice Address Input System does use about 75 secon ds per addre ss entered, and thi s
includes the Voice Call feature internal to the TeleNav appli cation.
How accurate is the GPS?
GPS accuracy can range from 20m to 100m, howev er most of the time the GPS is accurate to le ss than 50 mete rs.
What is ideal GPS environment?
The GPS requires an open, clear view of the sky. Buildi ngs, covered pa rking areas, tunnel s and dense folia ge can
cause the GPS receiver to be unable to locate itself or have an extended initialization time (time to first fix).
If you are parked in a covered parking lot or near a tall building, it is re commended that you m ove into an open area
and then begin to use the TeleNav servic e.
How do I know that the GPS has a signal?
The TeleNav application on your handheld will alert you if the GPS does not have a valid signal. If this happens,
move to an area where there is a clear view of the sky so the receiver can h ear the GPS signal s from space.
Why does the GPS not work near buildings an d other tall objects?
The GPS uses satellite signals from space to find out whe re it is. Therefore it needs a clear view of the sky. T all
buildings and other objects that block t he receiver’s view to the sky make it infeasible to det ermine your location.
Sometimes the satellites are not overhead but near the horizon; in these cases the GPS must have a clear view of
the horizon.
