Initial Driving Directions

Within a few seconds of selecting a Drive To location, TeleNav GPS
Navigator calculates what it believes to be an optimal route to your
destination and tells you how to start your trip.

If you are not moving, TeleNav GPS Navigator may not know your
direction of travel, so the first few driving directions may be incorrect
since TeleNav GPS Navigator may initially make an incorrect
assumption. However, once you start moving, TeleNav GPS
Navigator learns your direction of travel and provides an updated set
of driving directions.

TIP: Click the Space key at any time on the navigation screen to
replay the audio.

Moving to the Nearest Street

If you are not directly on a street, for example you are in a large
parking lot or driveway, you will see a screen that shows TeleNav
GPS Navigator’s best estimate of where you are with guidance on
how to move to the first street.

Audible Guidance Tones

TeleNav GPS Navigator delivers spoken audible directions as you drive. A preparatory audible tone is typically
heard no less than 30 seconds before reaching a turn, and an action audible tone is typically heard no less than 10
seconds before reaching a turn. The preparatory audible tone may not be sounded if the distance to the next turn
only allows time for the action tone.

The lead times for the audible guidance tones are increased proportionally to your driving speed. This allows more
time for changing lanes before a turn if you are driving at highway speeds as opposed to driving more slowly on
local streets. A Preference setting determines whether street names are included in the messages or not. Enabling
street names increases packet data usage.

Audio Replay

If you wish to hear an updated informational message for the current route segment, simply press the Space key.

Miss a Turn?

Whenever you miss a turn, turn the wrong way, turn too early or too late, or otherwise get off the planned route to
your destination, the TeleNav GPS Navigator automatically creates a new route to your desired destination, audibly
announce, “Rerouting,” and give you a new set of instructions.

If you realize you have missed a turn or have otherwise gotten off the route, just keeping driving. TeleNav GPS
Navigator detects your current location and recalculates a new set of driving directions to get you back on track.
