I have to say that Wayfinder has quite a few problems that telenav doesn't. It seems to freeze a lot causing me to do a battery pull, It doesn't show full maps (ie streets that aren't on your route are only displayed as "pseudo streets" that show up as dead-ends on the map) and it doesn't list street names for streets not on the route. It's isn't as accurate and I think this is because they're maps aren't accurate (at least in my area). There are some cases when I'd be turning at the right spot and Wayfinder showed me a couple hundred yards further than I actually was. This caused wayfinder to "recalculate" when it shouldn't have. The recalculation and map drawing take much longer than telenav. Lastly, if you leave it on directions/route mode the backlight will always stay on, even if you switch to another program and leave it running in the background.
It does have some nice features though, like the ability to calculate your route based on traffic flow. All in all, I am much happier with telenav though it's a lot more expensive at $9 a month instead of $14 per year.
edit: just wanted to state that this is using the free trial program an not the full program. Not sure if that makes a difference though.
