1. Welcome TeleNav™ 5.1 utilizes the integration of GPS position determination technology, the Java™ programming environment, and access to your wireless carrier’s data network. With regard to GPS location information: • Verizon 8703e and 8830, along with all 8100, 8300, and 8700 BlackBerries require an external GPS receiver to be connected via Bluetooth. • Sprint and Alltel 8703e and 8830 have an internal GPS receiver. An external Bluetooth GPS receiver can also be used.
2. Data Service Options The TeleNav GPS Navigator application that you install on your phone requires a means of accessing the public Internet, which is typically provided by your carrier’s data network. The TeleNav GPS Navigator application communicates with the TeleNav servers to get routing, maps, and points of interest via 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.
The BlackBerry 8700 and 8703 Controls Controls on the 8700 and 8703 are identically located. These two BlackBerries have the no Menu key, and the ESCape key is below the trackwheel. To open the menus, press the trackwheel. Power button Speaker button Headset jack USB port Trackwheel ESCape button DELete key ALT Key Enter key Space key TIP: To advance through TeleNav, press the trackball/trackwheel or use the Enter key. Use the trackball/trackwheel on forms to advance row by row. © TELENAV, INC.
Clicking the Menu key or the trackball/trackwheel while using the TeleNav application may give you a variety of options, depending on what screen you are on. The options are discussed in the appropriate sections below. There is usually an option for Help and one to take you back to TeleNav Home to reduce the number of times you would have to press the Escape key. 4.
3. Turn on the GPS receiver, and make sure it is within 10 feet of the BlackBerry. 4. Open the Menu and select “Add Device.” The BlackBerry will search for all nearby Bluetooth devices that are on. 5. Select the GPS receiver from the list of devices within range. 6. The BlackBerry may then ask you to provide the Bluetooth passcode for the GPS receiver. On many devices, this code is “0000.” You may need to check the GPS receiver manual to confirm it. 7.
After starting TeleNav, the splash screen will appear for a few seconds. The first time you use TeleNav, you must grant TeleNav access to the network so it can authenticate your account, fetch maps, get navigation routes, and search for businesses. When you see the screen to the right or the one below, use the trackball to highlight the checkbox allowing TeleNav to have access to all connections. Then scroll down to “Allow this Connection” and press the trackball to continue.
Terms of Use Next, in order to continue the TeleNav registration process, you must agree to the Terms Of Use. The terms shown are a subset of the terms and conditions found by clicking on the associated link at the bottom of the www.telenav.com web pages. Click the trackball or trackwheel and select “Accept & Login” to continue. NOTE: If you do not want to accept the TeleNav Terms Of Use, press the trackball and select “Exit TeleNav.
During your first use of TeleNav, the device will download the audible and graphical content needed to build the displays and produce audible messages. The alert screen similar to that shown on the right advises you that this is taking place. The time it takes to complete the download depends on your coverage.

You can also choose Change Origin (to start navigation from a different location that you select), Change Route Style (Fastest, Shortest, etc.), get Help, or go back to TeleNav Home. To use the Drive To menu, do the following steps: 1.
My Favorites Favorite are places that you have found and saved in the past so you can quickly access them. Many TeleNav users save their home and work addresses as a Favorite so they can easily reuse the addresses later. For instructions on how to save a Favorite, see “Record Location” on page 41. If your Favorites list gets very large, it may be easier to use the Find function to find your desired Favorite. To use the Find function, enter one or more alphanumeric characters in the Find field.
Recent Places Recent Places are addresses used recently for navigation, directions, directory searches, or mapping. When an address in the list is used within TeleNav, it is promoted to the head of the list. TeleNav GPS Navigator automatically saves all of the places that you: • Viewed as a map. • Located using a street address, intersection, or airport. You can get directions to a Recent place, view maps of the Recent place, or save a Recent place to your Favorites list.

Audible Guidance Tones The TeleNav GPS Navigator application delivers spoken audible directions as you drive. A preparatory audible tone is typically heard no less than 30 seconds before reaching a turn, and an action audible tone is typically heard no less than 10 seconds before reaching a turn. The preparatory audible tone may not be sounded if the distance to the next turn only allows time for the action tone.
The View menu has the following options: 3D Moving Map A 3-dimensional map with turn icons (default). This view allows you to see how the road ahead is organized, similar to the perspective of a bird flying 50 feet above the route. You can see the route to your destination as a blue overlay on one of the roads with white triangles leading you in the correct direction. The name of the street you are currently on is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
In 3D and 2D moving maps, you can zoom in or out while doing run-time navigation. You can also pan the map up, down, left, or right using the trackball or the “E,“ “‘F,” “S,” and “X” keys. On BlackBerries with a trackwheel, use the trackwheel to pan the map up and down. Holding the ALT key while using the trackwheel allows you to pan the map left and right.
Turn Icons This view allows you to see the next two consecutive turns in your navigation route. The name of the street you are currently on is displayed at the bottom of the screen. About 2 minutes before the next turn, the street name changes to the one you will turn onto. You can change this option in Preferences so that immediately after the prior turn, the name becomes that of the street you will turn onto. The content on the Turn Icons navigation view is explained below.

• Contact Customer Support. My TeleNav In My TeleNav, which requires logging in with your phone number and PIN, you can also: • Add an address and save it to the My Favorites list on your phone. The next time you launch the TeleNav GPS Navigator application on your phone, the new address will appear in your My Favorites and Recent Places lists.
If you forgot your PIN, contact TeleNav GPS Navigator Customer Care at 1-888-353-6284. Low Battery The GPS will not work if the device’s battery charge level is below about 15%. Starting with a freshly charged standard battery, we have used TeleNav for around 4 hours before it became necessary to connect the charging cable. If you get a low battery warning, connect a charging cable as soon as possible.
Unable to generate a route TeleNav GPS Navigator could not generate a route between the two endpoints of the route. This may be a temporary error if you have a weak GPS signal when establishing the origin, but may be due to errors in the map data in the area around the destination. Unable to login Someone may be fraudulently using your account. You will need to change your PIN and attempt to log in again.
How accurate is the GPS? GPS accuracy can range from 20m (approx. 65 ft) to 100m (approx. 328 ft). Most of the time, the GPS is accurate to less than 50 meters (approx. 164 ft). 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 a GPS satellite or may cause extended initialization time (time to first GPS fix).
