Just wondering if anyone is using this. I have a couple simple questions that Im sure anyone who uses the software would be able to answer easily.

How accurate is the GPS receiver and does it matter where you put it in your car?

How does the bluetooth work? Like, does it cut in and out like most bluetooth connections?

Can you use a bluetooth headset to make a call while using telenav?

Do I need to purchase some sort of dock for my 8100 so I can easily see the screen?

Are the audible directions loud and clear? (ie turn right here, and so on)

And above all is it worth it?

--------------

I have an 8100 through t-mobile. Just found out that its the ONLY phone on t-mobile that works with telenav. I used to work for sprint back in the day. I bought the Samsung Blade with the EXPRESS DESIRE of getting telenav on it and guess what, the GPS was faulty in the Blade so the only phone I ever had through sprint which was one of their most powerful phones didnt work. I was pissed. So needless to say Im excited to hear that telenav is not just for sprint anymore. But i do have questions hence this topic. And I guess the most important one is is it worth it. Its 10 bucks a month and you gotta shell out 99 for the gps receiver. So its an investment but at the same time, a worthy one especially if youre like me and getting lost all the damned time.

Telenav is a great app to have with the Pearl. It's very accurate and it's loud enough for you to hear and understand what it's saying. I have my Pearl on a windshield mount and it is very clear and bright from there.I have nothing but praise for this program.

how good is the maps program with gps compared to telenav?

[maish]

telenav makes audio instructions and shows where you are on the map, streets etc.

does blackberry maps do this as well

Telenav uses voice prompts.....bbmaps doesn't. Check out Stinsonddog's gps site. Just search him out. His site is dead on for the info you guys seek.

Like blakeatl said, Telenav is a very good program. I use it myself with a Globalsat 359 BT puck. Has a very good POI list for my area which is very helpful.
