1. Welcome TeleNav utilizes GPS position determination technology and access to your carriers data network. The Treo 700w, Treo 700wx, and Treo 750 smartphones provides both the Windows Mobile OS environment and access to your carrier network. The TeleNav application provides: • GPS navigation that punctually guides you turn-by-turn to any destination address in the Continental US. If you miss a turn or get off-track, TeleNav will calculate a new route for you.

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.

Navigation and Directions If the handheld is not registered, upon attempting to use this service, you will be directed to the registration process described above.
GPS Origin Refinement If are using GPS Navigation and you are in a parking lot or similar area where your location does not exactly map to a specific street, you may see a pop-up that shows TeleNav’s best estimate of which street you are on, and allows you to change it. If you elect to change the starting street, a list of neighboring streets will be presented, and you can make an alternate selection from the list. If you do nothing, the first pop-up will disappear after a few seconds.
To switch between the different route views during navigation, simply press the Menu key and select the view you wish to see, as shown below. You can change the default route view in the preferences menu. Eventually, you will see the destination arrival screen. This screen will show you how far it is to your destination and whether it is on the left or right side of the street or road. Next Turn View When the next turn view is turned on you will see an arrow indicating your direction of travel.
Route Summary View When the route summary view is turned on your will see a list of upcoming turns, the distance to each turn and the street to which you are turning to, similarly to a route view generated by most websites offering driving directions. Audio Guidance Tones TeleNav delivers guidance tones as you drive. A guidance tone will be heard shortly after making a turn, provided that there is time to deliver it and the preparatory tone that follows.
announce that you have been given a new set of instructions. If you realize you have gotten off the route, just keeping going. TeleNav will detect your “departure” and calculate a new route to get you back on track. Please note that it can take between 15 to 30 seconds for TeleNav to update your route. If during this process you also make deviations from your current route, TeleNav will probably have to contact its servers for another new route.
Category Search Do not enter any part of the business name in the first row of the form. Scroll down to one of the nodes of the category tree. Press the “+” to open the node exposing its branches. The indicator on the left will become a “-“ as is shown for “Restaurants” in this example. Any listed branch that is preceded by a “+” can be expanded as well to expose lower level detail. Any listed category that is not preceded by a “+” is a leaf category that has no lower level break out.
Picking a Business If the search succeeds, you will be presented with a list of businesses that are near the search point, or within the search area you specified. For searches conducted around a point, the mileage (as the crow flies) from the point to the business is included. If the search fails, a pop-up will be presented showing that nothing was found, and you have the option of accepting an expanded area search. If you do not act, the search will be expanded automatically.
You can make a choice by selecting an item. Otherwise, press Back to return to the main menu. Compass If you choose Compass, you will see a display similar to a nautical compass. More correctly, it actually displays course over ground, the direction you are traveling if you are moving. The screen also provides current latitude, longitude, and speed. Using the main menu Preferences, you can select the format of the speed as miles per hour or kilometers per hour.
Deleting Recorded Locations The View Locations menu option also allows you to delete the previously recorded locations that you no longer wish to save. Highlight the location you want to delete then press the Menu key. Select delete from the menu list and verify that you wish to delete the selected location. NOTE: There is no provision for recovering an unfortunate deletion! Maps This service will obtain and present a map around a selected or newly entered address.
If you choose Current Location there will be brief activity while TeleNav employs GPS to determine your location. After you have selected or entered an address, there will be brief activity while the handheld obtains the map from the TeleNav servers. The displayed map is always oriented with North towards the top of the screen. When you move (pan) or zoom, there may be brief activity to fetch the updated map.
