TeleNav GPS Navigator 5.2 has been released by the California-based TeleNav, Inc. Aside from the standard navigation features, the new version also packs some social networking features. For instance, it allows users to send their current location to any other mobile phone. Furthermore, TeleNav 5.2 also enables users to share addresses of their favorite businesses (restaurants, hotels, movie theaters) and to read, rate and review them directly from a mobile phone. Finally, there’s the Fuel Finder feature for accessing information on local gas stations with the cheapest prices for that day.
The new version of TeleNav GPS Navigator is available immediately on select phones. The service is offered to customers for $9.99 per month for unlimited use. Current customers using TeleNav GPS Navigator on supported phones can access the new version by re-downloading TeleNav GPS Navigator. For more information on which phones support the new version, visit TeleNav’s site.

Hello,
My name is Al Sacco and I’m a writer with CIO.com. I recently had a chance to check out TeleNav Navigator v5.2, aka TeleNav Traffic, while I reviewed another TeleNav application. The app I reviewed, called TeleNav Track, is a mobile phone-based GPS tracking service, and it includes a built-in GPS navigator, though it’s not v5.2. The best thing about TeleNav Traffic is its ability to re-route drivers based on traffic conditions. Very cool stuff, and it works quite well. Once I used the new version, I had trouble using the one within TeleNav Track. You might be interested in the related review. Check it out.
Thanks. AS.
