TeleNav GPS Navigator on the T-Mobile myTouch 3G
We all know someone who seems to always be getting lost or arriving to events “fashionably late.” Well, here’s your chance to help that person out and give them the gift of GPS navigation right on their phone. Better yet, you don’t have to pay for the gift and you’ll even get it for yourself too! That’s right, we’re giving away a total of TEN (two for each winning entry) one-year subscriptions to TeleNav’s GPS navigation applications including TeleNav GPS Navigator and applications we develop for our carrier partners including AT&T Navigator, Alltel Navigation and Sprint Navigation. That means if your friend has an Apple iPhone, T-Mobile myTouch 3G or G1, BlackBerry or any of the hundreds of devices we support, you can hook them up.
It’s easy to submit as well. To enter to win, visit MONDAY’S BLOG POST and leave a comment explaining why your friend deserves to win one of the GPS navigation applications we develop. Full contest details are available for review in the post as well.
While you’re deciding which of your friends is most deserving of your generosity, here are a couple of fun mobile phone facts*.

TeleNav GPS Navigator v5.5 on the T-Mobile myTouch 3G
We’ve had a great week giving away subscriptions to TeleNav GPS Navigator in support of our launch on the new T-Mobile myTouch 3G, but sadly, all good things must come to an end. If you haven’t been able to follow the blog this week, I’ll provide a brief recap. On Tuesday we announced that TeleNav GPS Navigator v5.5 would be available for T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G, an Android-based device that hit stores on Wednesday. Check out Mary Beth’s post from Monday night for details as well as a video demo we shot of TeleNav GPS Navigator v5.5 in action. To celebrate this launch, we’ve been giving away a six-month subscription to TeleNav GPS Navigator (or one of the navigation applications from our carrier partners) to one winner of our trivia contest each day.
For those of you who haven’t won the daily contest, the application is available now on our Web store for $9.99/mo. with a free 30-day trial. So, all of you who’ve already picked up your new myTouch 3G, head to the store and try the application for yourself. The application will turn your myTouch 3G into your very own personal navigation device complete with real-time traffic information, spoken directions, more than 10 million business listings with categories such as Wi-Fi hotspots, gas by price, ATMs and voice destination entry.
Here’s today’s contest question. The first person to comment on this post with the correct answer to the following question will win the prize. Previous winners from this week’s contest are not eligible for a second prize.
- In the video demo included with Mary Beth’s post from Monday, what is the name of the first street I turn on? I say the street name when mentioning that the application provides full text-to-speech with spoken street names. HINT: A well known NASCAR driver with the last name Sorenson shares the same name.
Good Luck!
