1. Welcome
TeleNav GPS Navigator™ 5.8 utilizes the integration of GPS position determination technology, the Android™
programming environment, and access to your wireless carrier’s data network. Your mobile device provides both
the Android environment and access to the wireless 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
phone, entering them on the TeleNav GPS Navigator website, or by pulling your contacts from the
Android device Address Book. 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 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.
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.
TeleNav GPS Navigator’s servers support these enhanced services via the carrier’s data network.

2. Safety and Legal Notices
Please read this section carefully before using TeleNav GPS Navigator
TeleNav GPS Navigator 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 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 phone
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 phone.
WARNING: Install the equipment safely.
If you are using a phone mounting kit, make sure that it does not obscure your vision. You may wish to charge the
phone while using TeleNav GPS Navigator. 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 GPS Navigator.
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.

Address - Typing In
Enter a street address by typing in the appropriate fields. The address is
automatically saved to your Recent Places list.
1. On the Drive To menu, choose on Address.
2. Type in a street address. Partial entry (5 or more letters) is okay for the
street name. You can also leave the Address field blank and just type

As you enter characters, nearby cities or addresses that you have
recently visited will be automatically suggested. To save time, you can
select the suggestions before you finish typing.
3. Choose Done when you are finished typing.
4. TeleNav GPS Navigator checks to see if the address that you entered
can be found. TeleNav GPS Navigator prompts you to modify the
address if the address is too new to be found in the mapping database
or if the street number cannot be found for some other reason, for
example, if the street number does not exist. TeleNav GPS Navigator
may also propose an address closest to the range of your entry.
Address – Speak It
Instead of typing in your address, intersection, city, business, or airport, you can use the voice-recognition system
to dictate the address. AT&T Navigator’s auto voice entry system can be utilized in two different ways:
If you set your Speech Input method in the Share & More >> Preferences >> Speech Input >> Input
Method area to “Call In,” TeleNav GPS Navigator will place a call to the Voice Address Input System.
To use this system, follow the voice prompts to dictate an address. When you hang up the call, you
will be directed back to the screen you were on. The new address can be found in your Recent
Places list.
© 2010 TeleNav, Inc. Page 19 of 71

If you set your Speech Input method in the Share & More >> Preferences >> Speech Input >> Input
Method area to “Speak In Directly,” you can dictate your address from within TeleNav GPS Navigator
as described below:
1. On the Drive To menu, choose Address, Intersection, City, Business, or
Airport. Then choose “Say It.”
2. Follow the voice prompts to dictate your address. The prompts will vary,
depending on the menu from which you accessed the “Say It” option.
TIP: Hold down the green microphone icon and wait for the beep. Then speak
clearly into your device. Release the icon after you are finished talking.
3. The matching address is then displayed on your screen for confirmation.
The address is also automatically saved to your Recent Places list.
The following section contains an example of what you might hear and say when using the Call In option for
entering an address (the prompts are different if you chose Search menu >> Speak It):
TeleNav GPS Navigator prompt>> Thank you for calling TeleNav GPS Navigator! Let’s get your destination. Is it
a street address, an intersection, or an airport?
Your response> Street Address
OK, Tell me the 5 digit ZIP code, or the city and state. For a Canadian address, say the city and province.
Your response> Arlington, Texas
TeleNav GPS Navigator prompt>> I heard Arlington, Texas. Say GO BACK if this is not correct. <pause> Say
the street including both the number and name, like 422 Main Street. <pause> It can also be a highway.
Your response> 1620 Oak Street
