As our world continues to become mobile, more and more businesses and government agencies depend on mobile workers and the use of expensive equipment in remote locations to meet their customers’ needs. This helps them provide customers with better, and often quicker, service, but also makes it difficult to keep track of where everyone and everything is.
Today, TeleNav and AT&T made tracking and locating equipment much easier for businesses with the launch of TeleNav Asset Tracker. TeleNav Asset Tracker from AT&T is an easy to install wireless device that can be attached to machinery, containers and other equipment so management can locate and track equipment on a Web-based map. This helps them use equipment more efficiently and also helps prevent theft. For managers in the construction, shipping, leasing or government industries, the tracking information helps them sleep a little easier at night knowing where all of their equipment is.
What businesses do you think could benefit from the use of TeleNav Asset Tracker from AT&T?
Happy Friday everyone! For those of you using AT&T Navigator (powered by TeleNav) on your Apple iPhone, you may have noticed that an update was made available for the application yesterday. We’ve released v1.4i of the application which packs in some very cool new features. We’ve put together a brief demo video to walk you through some of the new features we’ve added which include:
Full landscape view integration
Enhanced iPod controls with the ability to search through your songs, artists, etc. from within the app
Inclusion of AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspots in the POI listings
Seamless blending of navigation prompts and music for easy listening
Take a couple of minutes to watch the video and get a look at the new features. We’ve also added a product tour to the application, so if you have questions regarding any of the features, the app will guide you through them.
Now go out and update your app. If you have an iPhone and haven’t downloaded AT&T Navigator, what are you waiting for? You can get all of these great features and more for $9.99/mos.
Keep an eye out for additional updates and let us know which of the new features you like best. Have a great weekend.
Last week, we spent some time with AT&T at Interop in NYC. Take a look at this video to see AT&T’s Patrick O’Connor and TeleNav’s Chris Johnson give a demo on TeleNav Track and explain how it might help your business save money and improve operations.

AT&T and Pantech launched a new device this week, the Pantech Reveal, which is Pantech’s first “single-slider” phone. Overall, the phone has a nice feel to it and the inclusion of two key pads, the number pad when the slider is closed and the full keyboard when it’s open, makes it very handy to use. You can quickly dial a number with the slider closed and easily slide out the keyboard for messaging purposes. But perhaps the best feature in our humble opinion is that the phone comes preloaded with AT&T Navigator (powered by TeleNav).
We decided to take the Pantech Reveal out for a little spin and test some of the features included in AT&T Navigator on the phone. And because sharing is caring, we thought we’d bring along a video camera to show you the application in action. As you can see, it was very easy for me to find the destination I wanted to drive to and head out on my way. Some of the features you’ll see in the video include onscreen and voice turn-by-turn directions, text-to-speech (i.e. turn right on Kifer Road, not just turn right), real-time traffic alerts and the ease in which the POI database can be used to find a location.
Enjoy the video and if you picked up a Reveal or are planning to, let us know what you think of AT&T Navigator on the phone.
If you’re an iPhone owner using AT&T Navigator, you may have noticed that an update to the application became available last week. Hopefully you’ve had the chance to update your app and get a look at the new features. BUT, for those of you who haven’t had time to do this yet or who may not have found all of the updates within the application, we thought we’d shoot a brief video demonstrating a few of the new features.
This video includes the new support for landscape view while navigating, integrated iPod controls and improved audio. Enjoy the video and keep the feedback coming on what you’d like to see added to the AT&T Navigator for iPhone application or any of the other applications we develop here at TeleNav.
