If your Favorites list gets very large, it may be easier to use the Find function to find your desired Favorite.
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: • Chose for navigation. • Viewed as a map. • Located using a street address, intersection, or airport. • Viewed reviews or rated.

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 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! Please say the 5 digit ZIP, 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.

As always, use your common sense to determine the safety of any route.
