Telenav for Boost Mobile Supported Devices: v3.7 for Motorola i285, i415, i455, 730, i830, i860 - Manual (Page 31)

How long after I apply for the Boost Mobile packet data service until I can use my TeleNav system?
Generally, it takes until the following business morning before Data Access/Total Connect is fully provisioned.
How much packet data have I used?
Your Boost Mobile phone tracks this usage. Press MENU, and then scroll down to MORE. After selecting MORE,
or if you do not find MORE, select CALL TIMERS. Then, select KBYTES RESET. The next display will show you
approximately how many kilobytes you have used. Divide this number by 1000 to convert it to megabytes, and
compare this with your Data Access/Total Connect plan limit. When you are finished looking, press DONE. If you
want your usage report to correlate with your Boost Mobile bill, press RESET once monthly on the day Boost
Mobile closes your billing cycle.
Does TeleNav use up my voice plan minutes?
TeleNav uses packet data to provide the navigation function. Using packet data does not use any of your voice
minutes. However, calling the Voice Address Input System does use about 70 seconds per address entered, and
this includes the Voice Call feature internal to the TeleNav application.
How accurate is the GPS?
GPS accuracy can range from 20m to 100m, however most of the time the GPS is accurate to less than 50 meters.
Our external GPS receiver also uses WAAS technology to further reduce the error.
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 either be unable to locate itself (fix) or have extended initialization time (start-up fix).
If you are parked in a covered parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you move away till you have
a clear view of the sky and then begin to use the TeleNav service.
You may need to give the GPS a few minutes to find its location.
How do I know that the GPS has a signal?
The TeleNav application on your phone will alert you if the GPS does not have a valid signal. If this happens, drive
to an area where there is a clear view of the sky so the GPS can find itself. You can also invoke the GPS
application by pressing MENU, highlight GPS or the satellite icon and pressing the OK key. Then, highlight
position, and REFRESH if necessary. If the screen shows SCANNING for more than 60 seconds, you are
probably in a poor GPS reception area.
Why does the GPS not work near buildings and other tall objects?
The GPS uses satellite signals from space to find out where it is. Therefore it needs a clear view of the sky. Tall
buildings and other objects that block the receiver’s view to the sky make it infeasible to determine your location.
Sometimes the satellites are not overhead but near the horizon; in these cases the GPS must have a clear view of
the horizon.
How do I enter my destination?
Your destination can be entered in three ways. The first way is to call 877-886-9762 or 408-523-1429 and “dictate”
your destination address to the Voice Address Input System. Then you launch the TeleNav application on your
Java phone and this address automatically shows up in the recent destinations list.
