Telenav Scout v1.0 for Windows for T-Mobile - Manual (Page 6)

1. Welcome
The Scout™ application on your device uses GPS position determination technology and access to your carrier’s
data network to provide you with driving directions and a host of other services, including:
 GPS navigation that gives you turn-by-turn directions to any destination address in the United States
and Canada. If you miss a turn or get off-track, Scout will calculate a new route for you.
 Different ways to enter one or more destination addresses: keying or speaking into the device, or
entering them on the www.scout.me website. Optionally, you can input a remote origin and receive
Driving Directions from that origin address to the selected destination address.
 Audio and visual traffic alerts while driving or viewing maps, as well as traffic rerouting capabilities to
minimize delays on your trip (traffic is only available in the U.S.).
 A Search feature that allows you to find businesses or points of interest near your current location or
another location that you choose. You can read ratings and reviews for businesses and easily call the
business that you have found to check on the availability of an item or to make a reservation. You can
navigate to the business location now or save the address for later use.
 Sponsored Points-of-Interest search results that offer merchant review, deals, and restaurant menus
(depends on availability).
 Maps of the area around your current location or another location that you choose. You can pan the
map (adjust left, right, up, or down) and zoom in or out. Maps and points-of-interest are frequently
updated for accuracy, at no additional charge to you.
 The ability to select a point on a map to save as a Favorite or get driving directions to that point.
 A Weather feature to view current weather conditions, as well as a 7-day forecast, for a location that
you choose.
 The ability to set up alerts for your daily commute and view any traffic incidents on the map of the
route.
 A Movies feature to search for movies based on location or theaters.
 The ability to set Daytime or Nighttime colors for your map or navigation screens. You can also set this
to “Auto” for automatic color adjustment throughout the day.
 The ability to personalize your application preferences by selecting U.S. customary or metric distance
units, navigation prompts, and so on.
You can also use many of Scout’s features on the www.scout.me website, such as getting driving directions (Route
Planning) and using the Search function to find businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and gas stations. You can
also use the Scout website to add an address to your My Favorites list, and manage your My Favorites and Recent
Places lists.
