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 be unable to locate a GPS satellite or may cause extended initialization time (time to first
GPS fix).
If you are parked in a covered parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you move into an open area
and then begin to use the TeleNav GPS Navigator service.
Why does the GPS not work near buildings and other tall objects?
The GPS uses signals from satellites, so it needs a clear view of the sky. Tall buildings and other objects that block
the GPS receiver’s view to the sky may make it impossible to determine your location. Sometimes the satellites are
not overhead but near the horizon; in these cases, the GPS receiver in your device must have a clear view of the
horizon.
How do I know that the GPS has a signal?
The TeleNav GPS Navigator application on your device alerts you if you do not have a valid GPS signal. If this
happens, move to an area where there is a clear view of the sky so the GPS satellite signal has access to the GPS
receiver in your device.
What happens if I’m using TeleNav GPS Navigator for driving directions and I lose the GPS signal while
driving across a bridge or through a tunnel or lose the GPS signal for some other reason?
TeleNav GPS Navigator remembers the speed at which you were driving before losing the GPS signal. TeleNav
GPS Navigator continues to give you driving directions based on an estimate of the projected distance that you
may have traveled at your last recorded rate of speed. TeleNav GPS Navigator recalculates your current position
when you regain a GPS signal and adjusts your driving directions accordingly.
I noticed there are stars next to some restaurants I have viewed or saved. How is popularity rated?
Popularity is calculated by the user-generated ratings, averaged by considering the scores of the ratings and the
number of users that have rated the location. A location accrues points based on how many stars it is given by
TeleNav GPS Navigator users. When a location consistently achieves above-average ratings, its popularity count
increases. Negative ratings lower the popularity count of the location.
How long are ratings kept?
Ratings and reviews expire after two years.
Can I also share addresses by logging into the TeleNav website?
Yes. This may save you time instead of having to type the addresses directly on your device. To share an address,
go to
, click on “My TeleNav,” and log in. At the upper-right portion of the screen, you will see a
“Share Addresses” link. Use this page to send addresses to recipients whose phone number(s) you provide.
