Finding a Free Wi-Fi Hot Spot
More and more people are working from home these days. A recent survey from WorldatWork shows that 42% of organizations in the U.S. say they offer some sort of telecommuting option to employees.
With an increasing number of coffee shops and restaurants offering Wi-Fi access, many telecommuters find that it’s a nice change of pace to set up shop at their local cafe for the day. This is also a great option if you are a frequent traveler and don’t want to work out of your hotel room.
But how do you know who has Wi-Fi and whether or not you’re going to have to pay for access?
TeleNav GPS Navigator offers an easy way to search for Wi-Fi hot spots around you. Launch the application, go to Business Finder and then click on the Wi-Fi hot spots category. You can search for spots in your nearby vicinity or you can even search near a different address. The latter is great if you are going out of town and want to plan ahead.
And now, we’ve added a new feature – TeleNav GPS Navigator will even tell you if the hot spot location is free or requires a fee.
Don’t forget that you can also preplan online through your My TeleNav account at www.telenav.com. Search for a Wi-Fi hotspot through the Business Finder online, save it to your Favorites and it’s sent directly to your phone!
