The TeleNav application provides: • GPS navigation that punctually guides you turn-by-turn to any destination address in the Continental U.S and Canada.

2. Safety and Legal Notices Please read this section carefully before using TeleNav GPS Navigator 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.
3. Data Service Options The TeleNav GPS Navigator application that you install on your device requires a means of accessing the public Internet, which is typically provided by your carrier’s data network.

You do not need to purchase additional data services if you already have a data or email services plan for your phone.

Initial Driving Directions Within a few seconds of selecting a Drive To location, TeleNav GPS Navigator calculates what it believes to be an optimal route to your destination and tells you how to start your trip. If you are not moving, TeleNav GPS Navigator may not know your direction of travel, so the first few driving directions may be incorrect since TeleNav GPS Navigator may initially make an incorrect assumption.
It may take approximately 15 to 30 seconds for TeleNav GPS Navigator to update your route. If during this process you make additional deviations from your current route, TeleNav GPS Navigator may have to contact its servers for another new route. Since TeleNav GPS Navigator requires access your carrier’s network, if you are off route and outside of the carrier’s coverage area, you must return to your carrier’s coverage area in order for TeleNav GPS Navigator to recalculate your route.
