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.
How often are your maps updated?
Our maps are updated quarterly.
Telenav GPS Navigator is freezing up on me. How do I fix this?
If Telenav GPS Navigator is freezing, power your phone off for about 20 seconds before turning it back on. Once you’ve
done this, try launching Telenav GPS Navigator again. If you are still experiencing issues, please contact your carrier.
How do I delete my list of “Recent Places?”
You may remove multiple addresses by logging into your Telenav GPS Navigator account online at
In Recent Places, check the addresses you want to remove. You may also do this from your
handset in the Recent Places screen. Press-and-hold an address and choose “Delete” for an individual deletion, so
simply choose the Delete All button on the bottom of the screen.
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 expire after two years.
How do I re-install or update Telenav GPS Navigator?
If you have a T-Mobile Android phone running Android OS 2.2 or higher (or a T-Mobile Android tablet running Android
OS 3.0 or higher), you can go to the Android Marketplace >> T-Mobile App in order to obtain the latest version of
Telenav GPS Navigator.
Why is Telenav displaying Virtual Billboards at the bottom of the screen now?
This feature is designed to provide useful information while you are driving that will not distract you from the road. Virtual
Billboards can help you find gas stations, motels, or restaurants along your route.
