Maps

3

If you are a subscriber, you will get the map location menu shown to the right.

If you choose Here (your current location), there will be brief activity while TeleNav
employs GPS to determine your location, followed by a transaction with the
TeleNav server to retrieve the data needed to draw the map.

If you choose Enter address, you will be presented with a screen labeled Map
location
that allows you to enter a new address, refresh the list, or pick a recently
used address from the list. Address entry is described in a later section of this
guide. After you have entered an address and the TeleNav server validates it, the
TeleNav server prepares the data needed for your phone to draw the map.

If you choose Waypoints, you will be provided with a list of waypoints you have previously marked, if there are any.
You select the one you want, and the coordinates are sent to the TeleNav server to that it can prepare the data
needed for your phone to draw the map.

Map View

Before the map is drawn, a helper screen is shown that describes how to move (pan) the map, and how to zoom in
and out. The current zoom level is shown as a fraction in the upper right corner of the map (shown as 4/9 in the
figure below). Here are the key functions –

• 4-way navigation key – moves the map up and down, and left and right (panning)

• 4 key – zooms in (this key is also the letter “I’, as in “In”)

• 6 key – zooms out (this key is also the letter “O’, as in “Out”)

• The 2, 5, and 8 keys rapidly change the zoom level (the range is 1 through 9). To rapidly go between

levels, press 2, 5, or 8, and then one key press of 4 or 6 will take you exactly to the level you desire. For
example, to go to level 3 from level 7, press 2 and then 6 (Out).

The map is always oriented with North towards the top. Every time you move (pan)
or zoom, there will be brief server activity to fetch the updated map depicted by
animation in the upper right corner of the map replacing the zoom level indicator.
Give TeleNav 15 seconds to complete your request for a change.

You can press MARK to create a new waypoint based on the current position of the
map cursor. You can change the zoom level, and move the map around using the
4-way key prior to pushing the MARK Option Key.

This feature is not available on the i285 handset owing to the small size of its screen.
