Developer’s description: TeleNav GPS Navigator transforms mobile phones into full-featured personal navigation devices. The service includes full-color, 2D or 3D maps with voice and onscreen turn-by-turn driving or walking directions. TeleNav GPS Navigator also includes more than 10 million business listings with ratings and reviews, real-time traffic alerts with one-click rerouting, online-preplanning capabilities, and voice recognition. Other features include cheapest gas prices, weather alerts, Wi-Fi hot spot listings, “search along the route,” and multiple route options like avoiding toll roads and highways. Each time a customer launches a new route, TeleNav GPS Navigator accesses the most updated information online so that users do not have to worry about map and business listing information going out of date.
Pros: Provides both driving and walking turn-by-turn directions — onscreen and voice; local information is constantly updated since it’s stored on TeleNav’s servers on not on your phone.
Cons: Subscription model instead of a one-time payment; cannot store directions on your phone, which means if you lose your connection, you may lose your way.
Cost: $9.99 per month

Hi there - Mary Beth from TeleNav here. I'm here to answer any questions or take any feedback on TeleNav GPS Navigator if you have it! Thanks for your vote!
Why is the subscription price so high? For the price of 12 months of your service, a person could buy an entry level Tom Tom with better features. Amazon has a Garmin Nuvi 780 for sale and it's only $179.00

Cody - sorry for the delay in replying - it didn't ping me when you posted your question so I just saw it. The subscription service gives you access to real-time/live information like traffic alerts/rerouting, daily gas prices, movie times, weather, updated maps and business listings, and the ability to preplan online. The standalone devices like the TomTom and Garmin Nuvi do not provide this information unless you pay for a subscription as well. The maps and business listings can quickly go out of date. So with TeleNav GPS Navigator on your phone, you don't have to pay for another device AND you know that the info is always the most up to date and real-time. I hope this answers your question. Let me know. Thanks!
This application works amazing. It is worth every dime.
Far too expensive to justify.
GPS navigator comes for many uses like personal uses, vehicle tracking.
Yeah, too much expensive, I agree.

My GPS died and I would have had to buy a new one. Touch screen not functioning. Was going on a trip. Tried this program. Worked great. Subscribed for a year. Well worth it.
