To everything, turn-by-turn
Staff -- Industrial Distribution, 9/1/2005
TeleNav GPS Navigation is the first GPS application available on the BlackBerry platform with real-time, turn-by-turn GPS navigation, according to Nextel Communications. Offered by Nextel, TeleNav, Inc. and Research in Motion, the Java-based navigation application offers visual and audible, turn-by-turn driving directions and mapping on the BlackBerry 7520 Wireless Handheld.
TeleNav, which is similar to in-car GPS navigation systems, displays maps, graphical driving cues, speed and direction, and provides turn-by-turn directions to help drivers get to their desired locations directly. Customers have greater flexibility because of BlackBerry's portability. The device automatically updates to ensure the most current map information. Other features include an interactive voice response system, which can be used to input a destination, airport code location information, Business Finder, or lowest price gas station locator. It also offers multilingual capabilities for Spanish, Russian, French, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Portuguese and Mandarin.
