Anyone that has used TeleNav GPS Navigator in the past will know how well it works. Get directions, traffic updates and more. Run into traffic trouble? No worries, TeleNav can reroute you with one simple click. You can even use it to pull up the weather conditions and forecast for your current location. It’s feature-rich to say the least.
Long story short, the folks at TeleNav have announced that TeleNav GPS Navigator is coming to Android, and the software should be available on February 24th. The software will come with a 30-day free trial and after that, be prepared to pay $9.99 per month. At first, the software will become available from the TeleNav website. Later this year it should hit the Android Market.
I have a sneaking suspicion that TeleNav could drain the battery like nobody’s business on the G1… a device notorious for poor battery life as-is. Who knows, could be wrong! Regardless, I like the sounds of TeleNav on Android. I’m sure it’ll run solid on the G1, and all of the next generation Android devices to hit the market soon!

I too agree…”…I think most people will realize a monthly pay-for-play navigation service doesn’t make sense…”
I do enjoy my TomTom on all my previous phones and would JUMP at putting it on all my G1’s, if it was <=$99 and I own it!
One is born every min, a fool and their $ are soon parted…
Wise ones are few and far between it seems….
The Entitlement that companies/folks feel is due them for one job and keep getting paid for it day-in-day out, week-in-week out, month-in-month out, year-in year out…Music-movies-etc…get paid once, and stop the running away costs the world has spiraled into…it seems…Fine line balance between progress and run-away costs, lower standard of living for the many so a few can get more than is needed seems to be the model…
