Nice job... Telenav
Enjoy...
Sorry, before I execute this CAB,,,, what is it? Like a TomTom GPS thing??
Telenav is a Navigation tool. Unlike TomTom, it uses maps stored online, that are up-to-date and updated frequently. They use NavTek if you wonder. Check the details here: http://www.telenav.com/products/tn/
I use it on other devices and love it also on my Advantage.

How does it compare to Google Maps? (EDIT: Never mind, just looked at web site, and it looks awesome!)
What carrier do you have, what device do you claim to have? THansk!
Pay by the month for use? No thanks I will stay with Igo that way I will not incur any data charges plus monthly usage.
I think I'll stick to CoPilot 7

7? I have 6, and Copilot Live is at 6 for pocket pc. Yes, it;s great, even with the small screw-ups on the VGA screen.

I run on many different providers ranging from T-Mobile, Telefonica and others. I have an HTC branded Athena (Advantage/X7500). Runs fine, as long as you create an account with them. I don't mind the premium since the maps are precise, up-to-date.
Review of TeleNav
OK, downloaded, put in my credit card (have until 8/11 to cancel) and... WOW!
Pros:
Very nice feature set. Best implementation of searches for points of interest that I have seen; makes GoogleMaps look downright clunky! One of my favorites was search for lowest gas prices. Can also search for restaurants by type, just by clicking. And the results seemed very accurate. Really, really cool. And the fact that it is live means that you don't have to wait a year for updates.
Haven't tested the voice recognition yet, but a neat idea.
Nice big buttons. Hi-res maps. Attractive.
It is surprisingly responsive, even when on EDGE. Although I haven't tried an interstate at 80mph yet. This is a keeper... NEARLY.
Cons:
My biggest concern is the routing seems a little "creative". I did routes to about 10 locations near and far, and I would say it is comparable to Mapquest 2001. In one case, it inexplicably routed me through a subdivision rather than the direct route. Then I remembered... Mapquest used to give me that same stupid detour! In another, a 8-9 mile trip routed out at 23 miles! Maybe it's just the area I live in, but I'm not sure I'd want to rely on it if I really needed to get somewhere in a hurry.
The only other gripe is that while the user interface is pretty, sometimes the menus are confusing. I would hit the Menu button and get a set of options that weren't at all what I expected.
Also, with MvRTrueVGA, there is a gap between the bottom of the app window and the bottom of the display where a little bit of the app below peeks through. OK, this is a hack, so I can't be too harsh about that. But wouldn't it be great...
Summary
Bottom line, this has the potential to be THE killer GPS app. It's not there yet, but I'm betting this will get better in the next while. I definitely plan to keep playing with it at least until August 11, in conjunction with GoogleMaps and/or iNav as a second opinion. I'd be interested about experiences others have had, particularly with routing.
WGARY,
Have you tried traffic function with it? If traffic info is really up to date and integrated to routing. $10 may be ok for up-to-date map and real time traffic.

Traffic really isn't an issue where I live. My only real beef is the routing. Otherwise, I would gladly give the $10/month... might anyway!
I've been wondering when someone would come out with something like this, but for me it's monthly fee is a deal breaker (or needing a data plan for that matter) because I almost never need/use GPS, so I don't want to pay $$ per month to use it once in a while...
Still I wish them luck and am glad to see them improving GPS.

CoPilot Live 7 will blow you away - it is a vast improvement over 6.
When is 7 going to be made available? Do you know yet?
Beware of this product for the time being if you are UK based - it doesn't work, the program installs fine from the link but it is not possible to activate it. They have said six weeks (ish) before rolling out PDA compatability for Europe - for the time being its Blackberry devices only - Mike

:-S You got me curious now....
I love the fact that when I'm on the road for a long period, people (family, friends, customers) can track me and get an ETA on when I arrive, since I put my routes in CopilotLive. Maps are rough on edges, POI are not as rich as many features. I love TeleNav and consider TeleNav Track for the bidirectional functionality. Will see when they realease for the Athena. It's the really the best navigation PDA around in my eyes. By that time, I hope Alk will release Copilot Live 7. Can you send a screenshot? PM me if needed, I wonder how you got your hands on it and when it's due for.
Cheers.
Hey how did you guys get telenav to find the gps on the x7500? It keeps telling me that it cannot find it and to seek a clear sky position.
Thx
i didn't not notice it requried data plan before installation.
now, how can i uninstall it? TeleSav is not shown in the 'remove program' list. :-(
BTW, i still love my tomtom application.
UK friendly GPS software.

I have tried another one, webraska. I find not as nice as Telenav, but very close. excellent coverage in UK, Whales, and France. On my last trip I used it and found it just as useful as Telenav. Check it out... Webraska. For my friends on the other other side of the pond.
Anyone happen to know if this version works on other PPCs? Telenav hasn't updated their other Windows Mobile versions in years.
I am about to make my 9 hour journey to Syracuse New york on friday, and just flashed a stock rom in order to make sure my gps works. What do people think of telenav? It looks like it is pretty nice and sturdy..and i get thirty days for free, so i might as well use it. I am use to using googles navigation.

I'd stick with Google maps and call it good.
I use the telanav and have had no issues with it.

For short and quick trips, I use Google nav, for longer trips, I would recommend you using Tele nav, as it is more robust in routing and the address is more accurate. Google nav is based on google map and sometimes there are errors in Google map.
Telenav seems netters to me......Google maps sucks imo.

Why did you unroot? There are several apps that can test the gps and you do not need to unroot to use telenav aka sprint nvavigator.
As far a sprint navigator... I keep it on my phone just in case google navigator decides to not to find an address (it has happened)

Apparently it was..Seems kind of crappy looking. It does not provide the graphics that the Sprint nav has..

I use the free telenav service all the time. It work great!
i never really used the sprint nav, but that one was free right?...and telenav is not?
*edit*
i see from chads post that the telenav is free...the OP mentioned 30days free, so i was just wondering...
The Telenav that is installed on your phone is free. It replaced Sprint Navigation. Service for your Evo comes with free GPS.
There is also a Telenav that you can subscribe to for a monthly fee, but that's for the GPS enabled devices that do not include free service. All in all, it's the same thing, just for us, it's free.
oh cool.
i'll have to give it a shot.
thanks!
Telenav is awesome! Just as good if not better than Google Maps.

I never used spring navigation because it would take 5 minutes to actually start up, and sometimes it wouldn't even start up, so i always used google maps. But then i noticed telenav, and was curious. It looks pretty nice.
I'm after suggestions for a decent STANDALONE mobile phone locator (I don't want it incorporated into an antivirus app). It must make use of maps to locate the position of the phone.

Well there's HTCsense.com. I don't know if it works with the gingerbread update or if you have to root your phone, to get access to it.
Or you could give Prey a try:

I bought SeekDroid 2 days ago, just for the same reason. It is THE most lightweight app of its kind, and it cost me only .60 euros.

This looks quite good. Good reviews, features I'm wanting and cheap too. Thanks.
There's also something called Plan B:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb
Seems to work for people.
Ive been using wheresmydroid for past year. Only runs when you text the phone a special keyword. Can be used to find on silent too. Would recommend.
I second Plan B. You can install it remotely from your PC even after you've lost your phone. Provided data is turned on.
An ars article about it.
I just bought MapMyIndia which is powered by Sygic 10 interface, the GPS itself is fantastic and the maps seems good. Although the interface isn't all that great, it's kinda laggy to scroll. What do you guys use?
I shelled out another 30 euros for sygic indian maps and they work far better than mapmyindia's android version, mainly because the sygic is a version ahead of the one provided with mapmyindia.
Seriously.. don't we have any free options for the voice navigation in India in Android ??
I downloaded Waze, but looks like it will consume data traffic..
Please let me know if we have any free options in India.

Free is only Google Map (world navigation activated version), but it needs active data connection. Many are saying if you pre cache data, it can works offline. But make it clear, it won't work, though it will not fetch map data, still you need active data connection to start navigation, otherwise it will voice masg ' data connection lost'
but i think this is the best, B'coz 2G pack in india <2$/month, you can use wifi to precache map, where you are travelling and then use it, will not consume much data.
Paid version working good, i have tried almost all available and i giving details as per my expperience
1. Sygic Aura 11.2.3 - Best interface, Good map, working nice on high end device
2. Navigon,v6.0 Good interface, Good map, Working Flawless in most device
3. NDrive , Good map, n interface, but not as good as Navigon
4.Sygic MapmyIndia, Average interface, Map n FC many times
But google maps does not have voice navigation in India. How will it work ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
It does have, I am using.
If you concern about voice only - You need Sound synthesis if not installed(TTS). But i think it is installed in Note already, when i have switched from SGS to Note, it was working without installing it.
you can check it ,setting - voice input n output - text to speech setting.
And If
You are saying that navigation not supported in india, Then you need world activated navigation, Not with market google map. I have mention in bracket it in earlier post.
Stock OR Market google Map restricted navigation to work for few countries only.

The trick is getting garmin maps work on android devices... I'll post full details tomorrow (no guarrantee though )
HTC location doesn't have highly detailed maps of all the countries...
Garmin has those, but it's not fully available on android
Offline navigation is a plus too! Garmin have that.
But i'm using another app to read the Garmin maps... As i said, i'll post all the details later...
Keep posting guys! I wanna see more people interested in this

Having offline interests me a lot! I use Google Navigation and Google Maps right now but takes awhile to boot and locate. Not having to use data, I'm hoping, will lead to faster performance. Plus, I'm sure this could be used in other devices as well? I'm looking at my WiFi-only tablet as a 10" GPS if this works out =)

It will work on every android device...
Performance will be a little slower on our dz (if you put details on max). But on faster devices, its really smooth
I think it would be awesome if this post got to android general forum
EDIT: i won't post the guide tomorrow, as i need a pc to make the guide (i have to check some things while writing the guide).

you obviously don't have knowledge in those apps.
Navitel is the app that will be used for navigation. but navitel DOES NOT support .img maps. it does support .nm2 maps, and the key is to know how to convert those maps, and get rid of the errors...
