How accurate is the GPS?
GPS accuracy can range from 20m to 100m, however most of the time the GPS error is less than 50 meters.
TeleNav’s GPS receiver uses WAAS technology to further reduce the error to around 10 meters in clear sky
conditions.
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 about 45 seconds to find its position if it has not been used recently.
How do I know that the GPS has a signal?
The green light on the Bluetooth GPS receiver blinks when it is tracking satellites, and producing fixes. Otherwise it is
solid green indicating that it is trying to acquire satellite signals.
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.
The second way to enter your destination is to type it in using the keypad. Details are provided above.
The third way is to go to
and enter your destination address.
Why do I have to call in a phone number to enter an address?
There are multiple ways to enter an address: a) Call the Voice Address Input system and dictate the address,
b) preplan it by logging
, and c) entering directly on the phone keypad.
