TeleNav Inc. has introduced TeleNav GPS Navigator 5.0, the first GPS application on mobile phones that provides U.S. consumers with full-color three-dimensional moving maps, creating a more realistic and easy-to-follow visual navigation experience.

The updated version of TeleNav GPS Navigator is also the first mobile navigation service to include a Wi-Fi hotspot finder. Customers can quickly find and get turn-by-turn directions to wireless hotspots across the United States. With TeleNav GPS Navigator 5.0, customers can also search "along-the-route" (ATR), enabling them to look up a business, place of interest and even the lowest gas prices along their predetermined routes.

TeleNav GPS Navigator 5.0 also offers an address input method with the least amount of keystrokes in the industry. The application detects and auto-fills addresses based on current or commonly used locations, as well as corrective entry, which automatically revises information the user may have misspelled.

Other features of TeleNav GPS navigator include:

-- voice and visual directions;
-- full-color moving maps;
-- business finder;
-- fuel finder;
-- parking spot marker;
-- my favorites; and
-- language preference

TeleNav GPS Navigator, originally launched in 2003, is available for a fraction of the price of in-car navigation systems and dedicated personal navigation devices (PNDs). The service starts at just $9.99 per month for unlimited use, and TeleNav GPS Navigator customers are not charged cellular airtime minutes for using the service.
