Obligatory quote from the company president:

"We developed TeleNav GPS Navigator to work on hundreds of phones and smartphones, but this is the first time it is available on a device like the HTC Advantage,” said Dr. HP Jin, president, CEO and co-founder of TeleNav. “Our service is a natural fit for users of this extremely portable, yet powerful, device.”

Features of TeleNav GPS Navigator include:

* Voice and on-screen turn-by-turn driving directions - Customers type in or use voice recognition to call-in destinations, and TeleNav GPS Navigator computes the routes. While driving, users get up-to-the minute guidance, including street names, and will automatically be re-routed if a turn is missed.

* Full-color 3D moving maps - Just like an in-car navigation system, the 3D maps turn, move and stop along with the driver, while also displaying a realistic image of the streets the driver is approaching and passing. Users can also pan and zoom around the map to view surrounding streets. 

* “My TeleNav” Web site access - It is easy to preplan trips, save addresses and manage personal accounts online at http://www.telenav.com. Subscribers can save locations in their “My Favorites” folder and they automatically download on their device the next time they launch TeleNav GPS Navigator.

* Biz Finder (local search) - Customers can look up more than 10 million businesses and services, including ATMs, restaurants, hotels, Wi-Fi hotspots and gas stations, and easily navigate to them with the click of a button. Biz Finder also allows users to quickly look up and call the phone number for a business, saving money on unnecessary 411 directory calls.

* Real-time traffic alerts and one-click rerouting - TeleNav GPS Navigator monitors each specific route and will proactively search every five minutes for traffic congestion or incidents. Customers will be alerted, both audibly and on-screen, and can choose to find a faster route to their location by pressing one button.

* Fuel Finder - TeleNav GPS Navigator includes updated gas prices for local gas stations, and provides driving directions to the station with the lowest gas prices. 

* Spot Marker - Users can mark waypoints to help find their way back to a location or to record points of interest.

* Pedestrian Mode - TeleNav GPS Navigator can also be used while walking, to help guide customers through crowded downtown streets or back to a parked car.
