Don’t botther with TeleNav. Its hardly worth the price of $10 per month. It would be much more cost effective to purchase a Tom Tom, Garmin or other reasonable piece of equipment. I unwittingly turned on GPS on my Motorola Cliq (T-Mobile) and suddenly had a $9.95 charge on my phone bill. Talk about a sneaky underhanded way of doing business. Please steer clear of them.

If you want to save money and get the best GPS there is out there then you have to understand that a GPS is a GPS. What I mean by this is what makes one brand better than another is features, and features appeal differently for various people. Garmin, Tom Tom, and other brands you see around work decently, but there are other brands out there that can perform the same features and have the same quality.

That Garmin XT software looks cool, but what sucks is you have to take your other micro SD car out and put in the Garmin micro SD card. Not worth that. Not worth is, especially if you want to listen to music from your phone on a road trip. Guess you could copy the software over to a 8 gig or 16 gig micro SD card though.

Also, for the one asking about a dash mount for the phone. Just do a search on eBay. I found a couple there.

Have a look at Andnav a free sat nav for android. Its far from perfect but then its only in beta right now and its free!

It does not have my postcode in it or some others ive tried and it also tells me to turn right where i know you have not been able to for at least 30 years. I just hope things like this will get better in future releases.

I think he means those are features that were not advertised as selling points for the G1. T-Mobile and Google do NOT have to update the G1 with those features; they are add-ons that we will benefit from.

@craig – who said that the G1 was getting a touch keyboard and Flash?
T-Mobile NEVER said that nor advertised it.
The iPhone doesn’t have Flash either. Hell it doesn’t even have MMS. Or copy-paste. Or a real keyboard.

And I can just use chompsms and Steel to get a touch keyboard on my G1.

@FILA – why wouldn’t it use satellite?

@Tremendo – That’s why you get a dock and use a car charger. I have yet to find a standalone GPS unit that lasts longer than 3 hours when it’s not plugged in.

@JT – If we could get TomTom maps on Android, no one would use Telenav. But unfortunately, we’ve only got 1 option right now: Google Maps. And that’s not turn-by-turn. Which means that as of Feb 24, Telenav is the only game in town for turn-by-turn.

I have been using Tomtom on my smart phones since 2005 starting with HP pocket PC and blue tooth GPS adopter and most recently HTC touch. I tried Telenav on Sony Ericsson TM506 for $9.99 for a month. Telenav sucks and it does not worth more than $0.99 a month. It looses GPS connection whenever it feels like which was never a problem even indoors near windows with HTC P3300 and HTC Touch Cruise. I waited for G1 but could not buy it is tooooooo ugly.
