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 from your current location.

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.

GPS Origin Refinement

If you are using GPS navigation and you are in a parking lot or similar area where your location does not exactly
map to a specific street, you may see a pop-up that shows TeleNav GPS Navigator’s best estimate of what street
you are on. This gives you the opportunity to change the starting street.

If you choose to change the starting street, a list of neighboring streets appears, and you can make an alternate
selection from the list. If you do nothing, the first pop-up disappears after a few seconds, and TeleNav GPS
Navigator uses the default street as the starting location.

If you are not sure which street you are on, simply start driving. TeleNav GPS Navigator detects your current
location and recalculates your driving directions as needed.

Audible Guidance Tones

TeleNav GPS Navigator delivers audible guidance tones (beeps with a recognizable pitch) as you drive, in addition
to spoken audible directions. 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. For example, 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.

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, TeleNav GPS Navigator automatically creates a new route to your desired destination, and an
audible tone announces that a new set of instructions is available.

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.
