T-Mobile Austria customers may never again have to stop to ask for
directions, worry about carrying around paper maps, or buy expensive
navigation devices for their cars.
ENGLAND--TeleNav / T-Mobile:
* The benefits and features of in-car navigation directly from a mobile device * Available on a variety of BlackBerry® smartphones * Voice and on-screen directions that can be used while driving or walking * Only €8 per month for unlimited use * European business listings and maps that are always up-to-date; use in Austria
or while traveling on holiday in Western Europe * Easy-to-use and packed with handy features * Free 30-day trial with all new BlackBerry® 8800 smartphones
T-Mobile Austria customers may never again have to stop to ask for directions,
worry about carrying around paper maps, or buy expensive navigation devices for
their cars. They can now receive turn-by-turn GPS-enabled voice and on-screen
directions directly from their BlackBerry smartphone through a new service called
TeleNav GPS Navigator™. The service is available immediately on four BlackBerry
smartphones – the BlackBerry 8800 (with built-in GPS), the BlackBerry® Pearl™,
the BlackBerry® 8700 and the BlackBerry® 7130 (all require a Bluetooth GPS receiver).
“TeleNav’s SatNav service means any T-Mobile customer with a supported BlackBerry
smartphone can get all the benefits and features of an in-car navigation system,
but directly on their mobile device. It’s convenient, it’s easy to use, and it
means you’ll never get lost again,” said Robert Chvátal, CEO of T-Mobile Austria.
Voice and on-screen turn-by-turn driving directions
For just €8 per month, T-Mobile Austria customers can now get unlimited and convenient
access. Users key in their destination, or preplan it on www.telenav.eu, and TeleNav
GPS Navigator calculates their route. As they drive, they will get up-to-the minute
guidance and will automatically be re-routed if they miss a turn. Subscribers
can also preview their routes before they begin driving and specify preferences
including avoiding motorways and taking the shortest or fastest route. The service
includes full-colour 3D moving maps.
A local guide on your handset
With TeleNav GPS Navigator, T-Mobile Austria customers always have access to
up-to-date European maps and millions of business and community addresses and
phone numbers at their finger tips. Users can look up businesses and services,
including ATMs, Wi-Fi hot spots, restaurants, hotels and petrol stations and either
easily navigate to them with the click of a button or place a telephone call to
them from their handset.
Take it with you on holiday or business trips
T-Mobile Austria customers can now also use TeleNav GPS Navigator to provide
them with directions when traveling in Western Europe. Maps and business listings
will automatically be updated to reflect local information.
Many easy-to-use and useful features
TeleNav GPS Navigator includes many tools which make it convenient, relevant
and easy-to-use. Features include the ability to mark waypoints to help customers
find their way back to a location or to mark points of interest. Customers can
also save as many business or residential addresses as they want in their “My
Favorites” folder for easy access at any time. Since the service runs directly
on T-Mobile smartphones, customers can also switch to pedestrian mode and use
the SatNav to guide them while walking to a parked car or through crowded city
centre streets.
Free Trial with the purchase of a BlackBerry 8800
T-Mobile Austria is providing a 30-day free trial of TeleNav GPS Navigator. To
activate the service, use the free scratch card included with the purchase of
all new BlackBerry 8800 smartphones. Customers with other supported BlackBerry
devices can sign up through T-Mobile or through TeleNav (www.telenav.eu). A Bluetooth
GPS receiver is required for non-GPS enabled mobile handsets.
