Telenav myTouch

I’ve been a fan of the Telenav navigation system for a long time. Telenav brings full navigation capability to supported devices, eliminating the need for a dedicated GPS system. It offers turn-by-turn navigation with spoken directions and real-time traffic information. The service is currently available for many of the popular smartphones on the market, and as of tomorrow, it will be available for the HTC myTouch 3G. The myTouch 3G is the next-generation Android phone on the T-Mobile network in the U.S.

Telenav for the myTouch 3G will be available as a 30-day free trial, to allow customers to give it a try before committing to the monthly fee.

  • $120 a year for this nav software is a bit expensive.

  • Still waiting for a turn-by-turn satnav solution like TomTom, iGo, or Garmin to come to Android. Until then, I won’t be making the switch from WinMo.

  • Hi James. Yeah, Sorry. I should have been more specific in my comment. I mean to say that I’m waiting for a turn-by-turn satnav solution that doesn’t require a monthly subscription like Telenav. Something along the lines of TomTom, that may require an up-front purchase but doesn’t have monthly fees.

    I’ve heard that AndNav2 made some progress, but they have only rolled out to California in the U.S., and from what I understand the service is spotty in California anyway.

    Oh well…
