TeleNav 4 utilizes GPS position determination technology and access to your carriers data network. The Palm
Trēo™ 650 smartphone provides both the Palm OS environment and access to your carrier network. GPS location
information is provided by a Bluetooth GPS receiver accessory.
The TeleNav application provides:
•GPS navigation that punctually guides you turn-by-turn to any destination address in the Continental
US. If you miss a turn or get off-track, TeleNav will calculate a new route for you. You can enter one or
more destination addresses by calling an automatic voice recognition system, entering them on the
TeleNav website, or by keying them directly into the handheld. Optionally, you can input a remote
origin and receive Driving Directions from that origin address to the selected destination address.
•A Business Finder 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; or you can
save the address for use later in the day.
•Maps of the area around your current location; a marked waypoint; or an address you enter manually,
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.
•The ability to personalize the application by selecting the use of US customary or metric distance units,
options for audible guidance, backlight level, timing of displayed graphics, etc.
•A viewer that displays your current location relative to a selected waypoint, recent stop, or point of
interest; and to navigate relative to that selected point.
• The ability to mark the current location as a waypoint that can be labeled.
• A compass-like indicator presenting your direction of travel, location, and speed.
TeleNav’s servers support these enhanced services via your carrier’s data network.
2. Safety and Legal Notices
Please read this section carefully before using TeleNav
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 TeleNav.
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 handheld
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 handheld mounting kit, make sure that it does not obscure your vision. You may wish to charge
the handheld while using TeleNav. 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 TeleNav.
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.Getting Started with TeleNav
The TeleNav application that resides within your Palm Trēo™ 650 smartphone requires a TeleNav subscription and
means of accessing the public Internet.
TeleNav Account
You can establish a TeleNav account by visiting www.telenav.com.
Data Service Options
The TeleNav application on your Palm Trēo™ 650 communicates with the TeleNav servers to get routing, maps,
and points of interest via the carrier data network. If you have a data or email services plan for the Palm Trēo™
650, you do not need to purchase anything else. If you do not have either of these plans, you should order one
from your carrier.
TeleNav can be installed on your handset two different ways: 1) by loading the application from a distribution CD
using the palmOne Quick Install application, or 2) by using the Palm Trēo™ 650 browser and downloading the
application directly to your handset over the air (OTA).
Installation Instructions
Using the CD to install
NOTE: Customers must have the Palm Desktop software installed and the handset connected to their personal
computer (PC) before completing the steps below.
1. Insert the TeleNav application CD into your CD or DVD drive.
2. Browse the CD and open the Palm Treo
folder then select the PRC file.
3. After selecting the file, the palmOne Quick Install application will launch automatically. Click OK to continue.
4.

message will be displayed, press OK to complete the setup process.
NOTE:
If your TeleNav account is not active, you will be notified at this point, and will be directed to go to
www.telenav.com to extend your service agreement. You will not be able to progress beyond this point until your
account is returned to current status. You may also see an important message from TeleNav regarding upgrades,
scheduled downtime, pending account expiration, etc.
When the handheld reaches the TeleNav servers with a valid and active phone number and PIN, the handheld will
be registered to use TeleNav, and will not present any of the above screens except the splash screen in the future.
Visiting www.telenav.com, and changing the PIN will require you to repeat the above registration process.
The GPS location information is provided by a
TeleNav Bluetooth GPS receiver, therefore you
must configure the GPS receiver before you can
access information that is dependent upon GPS
information in TeleNav.
Make certain that your TeleNav Bluetooth GPS
receiver is powered ON at this point during the
setup. Press Yes to configure the settings. A
scan of all nearby devices will be completed and a
list will be displayed. Highlight the TeleNav GPS
option and press OK to continue.
7.Addresses
This section discusses the variety of ways you can select a previously entered address, enter a new one, or use a
Business or Airport Address. This information is presented here since the techniques for setting addresses are
used throughout TeleNav.
Address Selector
TeleNav presents a list of options for you to choose from when a) setting a
destination address, b) setting an origin address, c) defining the center of a
displayed map, or d) anchoring a Business Finder search. These options
include: a) using an airport’s address, b) entering an address from the
keypad, c) verbally dictating an address to an automatic voice recognition
system, d) using the address of a business, e) using a Recent City, Recent
Stop, or a previously stored Location. One or more options may be omitted
from the Address Selector list depending upon the application context.
Recent Addresses
Recent Addresses are addresses used recently for navigation, directions,
business finder searches, or mapping. When the 24-item capacity of the list
is exceeded, the newest stop pushes the eldest off the list. When a stop in
the list is used within TeleNav, it is promoted to the head of the list.
Press Menu and select “Refresh” to pull in any addresses you entered on
the www.TeleNav.com website Preplanning feature.
The Recent Cities list is automatically extracted from the Recent Stops.
Selecting a recent city transfers the city and state to the Address Input form
so all you need to do is add the street address.
Keying in an Address
The form allows you to specify a street address as, “123 Johnson St”, or an intersection as “Johnson at Main”.
Note the use of AT or AND in an intersection specification.
If you select a Recent City using the Address Selector, the selected city and state information are transferred to the
form allowing you to quickly add a new street address.
NOTE:
TeleNav uses standard 2-letter USPS abbreviations for states. When this page opens, the last used
USPS code is shown.
Press Menu and select Help to get more information for each row in this
form. Use the stylus or the navigation keys to advance down or up the rows
of the form.
Calling in an Address
Below is a sample of what you will hear and say when using the Voice Address Input method:
TeleNav prompt> Welcome to TeleNav! Powered by Televigation. Say the city and
state you want like San Francisco, California.
Your response> Arlington, Texas
TeleNav prompt> I heard Arlington, Texas. To change this say GO BACK. Say the
street you want like WILSON AVENUE, or say Highway and the route number like
Highway 405.
Your response> Oak Street
TeleNav prompt> I heard Oak Street. To change this say GO BACK. Say the street
number or say INTERSECTION to name a cross street.
TeleNav prompt> I heard 1620. To change this say GO BACK.
<pause>
TeleNav prompt> Address entered. Please launch TeleNav on your phone
<call is terminated>
After the Voice Address Input System has completed its dialog with you, it will advise you to launch the TeleNav
application, and then it will hang up.
The recognition system may reply back with an incorrectly recognized input. When this happens, simply say, “Go Back”, and repeat the data entry. The voice system may advise you that a street number is 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 end of
the range that you are sure is valid. If you say Intersection and then provide a crossing street name, the voice
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 change by saying it, and then provide the correct name.
NOTE:
Simply dictate the numbers as prompted, or key in your mobile phone number followed by pressing “#”, and your
TeleNav PIN followed by pressing “#”.
NOTE:
If caller ID is not working, the Voice Address Input System will ask you for account number and PIN.
If you are already on a voice call, this feature will be disabled.
Using an Airport as an address
Click on Airport in the Address Selector. There is one input field that can
be used for the airport code, such as IAD for Dulles International, airport
name, location city or market city prefix.
If you enter “NEW” in the field and click Submit, the next page will display a
list of airports in NEW York City; NEWark, NJ; NEW Orleans; etc, as well as
airport names containing “New”. You simply highlight the one you want,
and tap on it or click the center key.
Business Address
See the section regarding the Biz Finder feature for more detailed
information. To use the Biz Finder to set an address: a) specify the search
point or area first, b) decide whether you want to search by Category or
Business Name, c) navigate through the categories if you selected Category
search until you have reached the list of matching businesses, d) select a
specific business, and e) display a list of options. You can select to save the
address, or use it in the current 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 address.
The Locations list appears to be similar to the Recent Stops list when it is
displayed. Waypoints are entered using the mark feature in TeleNav GPS
Tools, and from Maps. When the 20-item capacity of the push down list is
exceeded, the eldest element on the list is removed when the new element
is added. When Locations are deleted from the list, the list is compressed.
Locations are not derived from knowledge of a street address, but Recent
Stops and Favorites are.
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 address (door) number you
entered is 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 send a
message to your handheld requesting you to
correct the provided information. For
example:
Web address entry
Go to the TeleNav website, and log in using your account 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 further down the web page. Preplan puts these addresses directly into
the list available to your phone. Maps and Directions have links that allow you to selectively pick addresses that
you want to appear in your phone’s TeleNav address list the next time you use TeleNav and select Refresh Recent Stops.
The TeleNav Menu selections are a) Navigation, b) Biz Finder, c) Map, d)
GPS Tools, e) Preferences, and f) Support. You Exit TeleNav from this
menu by pressing the Exit button. You can return to TeleNav Home using
the Menu key from elsewhere within TeleNav.
Navigation and Directions
If the handheld is not registered, upon attempting to use this service, you will be directed to the registration process
described above.
Upon entering Navigation, the destination Address Selector form described above appears first. You select, find, or
enter an address, and are taken to the destination address confirmation screen.
On the trip confirmation screen you can change the route origin or you can change the route type (fastest, shortest,
avoid highway, prefer highway or pedestrian.)
When you are ready to get the route select Go.
The first option is “Current Location”, and the second option is “Somewhere
else”.
Selecting the first option invokes the Navigation function using your 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, followed by a network
transaction while the handheld sends the fix and destination address to the
TeleNav servers that respond with the routing data.
Selecting the second option takes you to the origin Address Selector so you
can pick, find, or enter the origin address. (These screens are shown
above).
If are using GPS Navigation and you are in a parking lot or similar area
where your location does not exactly map to a specific street, you may see
a pop-up that shows TeleNav’s best 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 will 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 route 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 since TeleNav may make an incorrect assumption. However, once
you start moving, TeleNav will learn your direction of travel and provide a corrected set of guidance instructions.
Depending on the route view being displayed, navigation direction screens have slightly different content as
explained below. The large main turn type icon indicates which way and how aggressively you should turn when
you reach the intersection.
With Moving maps turned on in Preferences (as is the default view), you will see a map and a highlighted route
during your trip. 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-oriented view. The main turn icon is fitted on the right
as shown below.
Name of the
street you will
turn onto
Distance to
the next turn
and turn
direction
Direction of
travel
Miles to
destination
GPS signal
strength
Name of the
street you
are on
To switch between the different route views during navigation, simply press the Menu key and select the view you
wish to see, as shown below. You can change the default route view in the preferences menu.
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 the next turn view is turned on you will see an arrow indicating your direction of travel. When a turn along
your route is upcoming the arrow will change indicting the turn distance and direction. When the next turn along the
route almost immediately follows the turn indicated by the main turn icon, a second turn icon appears where the
speed and heading information is shown below.
Route Summary View
When the route summary view is turned on your will see a list of upcoming turns, the distance to each turn and the
street to which you are turning to, similarly to a route view generated by most websites offering driving directions.
TeleNav delivers guidance tones as you drive. A guidance tone will be heard shortly after making a turn, provided
that there is time to deliver it and the preparatory tone that follows. The preparatory audio tones will be heard no
less than 30 seconds before reaching a turn, and the action tones will be heard no less than 10 seconds before
reaching the turn. The preparatory audio guidance tones may not be heard if the distance to go only allows time
for the action tones. The lead-time for the audio guidance tones is increased proportionally to your driving speed to
allow more time for changing lanes on freeways than on surface streets.
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, TeleNav will automatically create a new route to your desired destination and an audio tone will
announce that you have been given a new set of instructions. If you realize you have gotten off the route, just
keeping going. TeleNav will detect your “departure” and calculate a new route to get you back on track.
Please note that it can take between 15 to 30 seconds for TeleNav to update your route. If during this process you
also make deviations from your current route, TeleNav will probably have to contact its servers for another new
route. Rerouting uses data, so it is advisable for you to try to stay on the route. Since TeleNav GPS Navigation
requires your carrier’s network, if you are off route and outside of the carrier’s coverage area, you must return to the
coverage area for GPS Navigation to work again.
Static Route and Map Summary Modes
If you specified “Somewhere else” while on the trip confirmation page and entered in a different origin address there
will be brief activity message displayed when the directions are downloaded.
A static route view will then be displayed, similar to the route summary view shown above. To view a map
summary of your trip press the Menu key and select Map Summary.
NOTE: The map summary mode is only available when accessing static routes.
Select Biz Finder and use the Address Selector screen, and perhaps the Address Input screen to help TeleNav
determine where you want to search.
Once you have picked a point or an area, you can search for businesses,
gas stations or for gas by price.
A business search requires entering part of the business name, selection of
a category, or both.
Business Name Only
Enter at least 2 letters of the business name in the first row of the form,
highlight the next line that reads, “Any”, and press the Search button to start
the search.
In this context, “Any” means any business beginning with the name above.
If you have selected the “Any” category and left the name field blank, you
will be asked to enter at least 2 letters of the business name prefix. In this
example, “sta” was entered as part of the business name.
Category Search
Do not enter any part of the business name in the first row of the form.
Scroll down to one of the nodes of the category tree. Press the “+” or click
right on the nav button to open the node exposing its branches. The
indicator on the left will become a “-“ as is shown for “Restaurants” in this
example. Any listed branch that is preceded by a “+” can be expanded as
well to expose lower level detail. Any listed category that is not preceded by
a “+” is a leaf category that has no lower level break out. The first leaf listed
will be “Any” allowing you to look for any business in the branch category
above. Highlight a leaf category of your choosing, and press the Search
button to start the search.
You can perform a brand name search that is restricted to category. Enter part of the business name in the first
row of the form. Scroll down to one of the nodes of the category tree. Click on category to open the node exposing
its branches. Any listed branch that is preceded by a “+” can be expanded as well to expose lower level detail.
Any listed category that is not preceded by a “+” is a leaf category that has no lower level break out. The first leaf
listed will be “Any” allowing you to look for any business in the branch category above. Highlight a leaf category of
your choosing, and press Search to start the search.
Example:
Enter “sta” as the business name, scroll down to “Dining”,
and click. Select “Coffee/Café”, and press Search to search for any
Coffee/Café beginning with “sta”.
Picking a Business
If the search succeeds, you will be presented with a list of businesses that
are near the search point, or within the search area you specified. For
searches conducted around a point, the mileage (as the crow flies) from
the point to the business is included.
If the search fails, a pop-up will be presented showing that nothing was
found, and you have the option of accepting an expanded area search. If
you do not act, the search will be expanded automatically. Searches do
not expand beyond 24 km/15 miles from the initial reference point.
After you highlight and pick a specific business from the list of matches,
you will see a Business Detail screen that shows: a) the name of the
business, b) the street address, c) the phone number, d) the distance
from the search point, and e) optionally more information about the
business.
Press the Menu button for the options that are: 1) drive to the address, 2)
save the business address for later, 3) call it using your phone (requires a
calling plan) or 4) obtain a map around the business location.
If you Save It, the address is added to the Recent Stops list. If you Map It, you will be presented with a map of the area surrounding the business
address. The Call it feature is only present if a phone number is shown
on the details page.
If you choose Call it, the phone number will appear on your phone’s
calling screen, and then the call will be placed. When the call ends, you
will be returned to the Business Detail screen. The calling option will not
be available if you are already on another call.
Maps
This service will obtain and present a map around a selected or newly
entered address. The Address Selector screen shown above is used to
start the process of selecting an existing address, or entering a new one.
If you choose Current Location there
will be brief activity while TeleNav
employs GPS to determine your location.
After you have selected or entered an
address, there will be brief activity while
the handheld obtains the map from the
TeleNav servers.
The displayed map is always oriented
with North towards the top of the screen.
When you move (pan) or zoom, there
may be brief activity to fetch the updated
map.
If you select GPS Tools from the main menu, you will be taken to the GPS
Tools submenu.
You can make a choice by selecting an item. Otherwise, press Back to
return to the main menu.
Compass
If you choose Compass, you will see a display similar to a nautical
compass. More correctly, it actually displays course over ground, the
direction you are traveling if you are moving. The screen also provides
current latitude, longitude, and speed. Using the main menu Preferences,
you can select the format of the speed as miles per hour or kilometers per
hour.
If no GPS data is available, “No GPS” appears instead of latitude and
longitude.
Press Back to return to the GPS Tools submenu.
Record Location
This menu option allows you to mark and label your current location for
future reference. If you choose Record Location, there will be brief activity
to determine the GPS position, and then you will need to enter a label.
After the location is saved, you will be returned to the GPS Tools menu.
This menu option allows you to view a map of the locations that you have saved for future reference. Highlight the
location that you wish to view and select it, there will be brief activity to download the map.
Use the zoom bar on the right to zoom in and out of the map. The default zoom level is set to 4, the zoom level
ranges between 1 and 8. Use the navigation keys to move the location cursor, moving the cursor off the map will
cause the map to pan to that location.
TIP: When viewing the map select the Menu key to look up the location address or select the ‘drive to cursor’
option and begin a new trip to your recorded location.
Deleting Recorded Locations
The View Locations menu option also allows you to delete the previously recorded locations that you no longer
wish to save. Highlight the location you want to delete then press the Menu key. Select delete from the menu list
and verify that you wish to delete the selected location.
Whenever the TeleNav application on your handheld needs server
assistance, it uses your carrier’s data service. While it is using data
service, other services such as SMS messaging, and conventional
cellular will not be available. Typically this interruption of other services
will last no more than 20 seconds. When TeleNav is using data service
to contact the TeleNav servers, it will present a message like: a)
Reading GPS…, b) Waiting …, c) Sending …, d) Receiving…, e)
Logging in…, f) Personalizing …, g) Loading … and h) Storing ...
Taking an Incoming Call
When your handheld receives an incoming call ring, it will ring, and
display a screen that allows you to take or ignore the call. If you take
the call, TeleNav will be exited. After the call, you will need to launch
TeleNav and begin again. If you decide to ignore the call the
application will continue as is.
NOTE: When TeleNav briefly uses the carrier’s data network, incoming
calls may be blocked.
Exiting TeleNav
If at anytime you wish to exit TeleNav, press the Applications button on your Treo keypad or press the Exit button
located on the main menu screen. If you are working within one of the submenus, press the Back button until you

TeleNav Encountered An Error
TeleNav is having technical problems with the specific request 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.
Unable to generate a route
TeleNav could not generate a route between the two endpoints of the route. This may be a temporary error if you
are using GPS to establish the origin. In rare cases it is due to errors in the map data around the destination.
11.
11. FAQ’s
11.11.
How do I increase or decrease the backlighting?
The backlight levels can be controlled from within TeleNav’s Preferences.
Why do I need the carrier’s data service?
The data plan allows you to access nationwide routes, maps, and Finder content from the TeleNav servers using
the data communication features of your handheld. These services are different from your cellular airtime. To
order a data plan from your carrier, please contact their customer support directly.
TeleNav uses data to provide the navigation function. 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, and this
includes the Voice Call feature internal to the TeleNav application.
How accurate is the GPS?
GPS accuracy can range from 20m to 100m, however most of the time the GPS is accurate to less than 50 meters.
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 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 recommended that you move into an open area
and then begin to use the TeleNav service.
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 hear the GPS signals from space.
Why does the GPS not work near buildings and other tall objects?
The GPS uses satellite signals from space to find out where it is. Therefore it needs a clear view of the sky. Tall
buildings and other objects that block the receiver’s view to the sky make it infeasible to determine 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.
