I have telenav with AT&t and I can't live without it, literally. I have had a Garmin nuvi 750 and TomTom GO 720, and Telenav literally has at least twice the POI. I remember those expensive map updates too, telenav has FREE map, poi, voice, etc updates. I first saw TeleNav mentioned in the New York Times and then I went to their website: www.telenav.com $10/month is a great deal, especially considering it offers more features than a $600 standalone unit. I prefer this over any built-in car gps or standalone unit. What do you guys/gals think?

Replying to: anthonyy1 (Jun 04, 2009 12:22 pm) If you have a big 4" plus screen on an iPhone or something like that, and it had voice commands (I hear apple finally allowed that), then it's a potential replacement. But to read a tiny 2" cell phone screen is not enough, to me, to replace an all-in-one unit, especially when prices on those have plunged. What phone to you have the service on? How big is the screen? Does it offer voice commands while you drive? I do have a BlackBerry Curve 8900 device with T-Mobile data service, and I have Google Maps on that. But the written directions on that are hard to follow, and it's text or map; I want both. It doesn't speak directions. It does have traffic data but it's usually out-of-date. It is GPS capable but the screen on the 8900 is just 2.3" so I don't subscribe. |
