TeleNav First Look Kickoff!
Feb 26th
Posted by Kenji Onozawa in Community Stories
At TeleNav, part of what we want to do is be the best GPS solution out there – period. So day-in and day-out, we work hard to improve and create new features which ultimately make our customer’s lives in their cars, simpler. And in the 10 years we’ve been doing this, we are very proud at how far we’ve come.
But now it’s 2010, the start of a new decade, and we’re are kicking it up another level. One way we want to do that actually starts with YOU, our customers. You see, we’re dedicated to constantly improving and we think the best way to do that doesn’t start with talking about what we’re doing but by listening to what you have to say and what really matters to you.
As some of you may recall, a couple of months back, we put out a call for participants to our First Look program. For this program, we were looking for our most passionate and loyal customers in the Seattle and Bay Area who wanted to give us feedback on some of the things we’re working on. Well, recently we held kickoff events in both cities where we invited the participants out just for a night of food and drinks. We enjoyed getting to know everyone who came and we think they had a good time as well. Thanks to all of the participants!
We also wanted to thank everyone who responded to us during our search for participants for the First Look program. What we learned while recruiting people to join the group is that there are many passionate TeleNav users who don’t live in the two First Look cities who wanted to participate. We’ve definitely heard you and we will look at expanding to greater parts of the country in the future.
Big Contest Still Open . . . And an Inside Look Into TeleNav

Time is ticking away for you to win one of the biggest prizes we’ve ever given away here on the TeleNav Blog. You only have four days left to enter to win a full year of TeleNav service for you and a friend. The season of giving is quickly approaching, so why not get a head start and hook one of your friends or family members up with GPS navigation on their mobile phone. Just think, they’ll never be able to blame getting lost as the reason they missed your wedding again.
So how do I enter you ask? It’s very easy. All you have to do is click on THIS LINK and visit the original contest post. Leave a comment as to why your friend deserves (or in most cases NEEDS) TeleNav’s GPS navigation application on their phone and we’ll select the best five entries. As I mentioned above, the winners get a year of service for themselves and the friend or family member they nominated. To all of you couples out there, this is your chance to finally end one of the arguments that has plagued humankind for centuries.
But wait, there’s more. As part of our extended 10 Year Anniversary Celebration, we thought it would be great to give readers of our blog an inside peek into what life is like inside the friendly confines of the TeleNav offices. So, we took some time to visit with employees in our Seattle and Sunnyvale offices to shoot a brief video and ask them a few questions about what it’s like being part of the TeleNav family. Oh, and keep an eye out for a special edition of “TeleNav Idol” with our own versions of Randy, Paula and Simon (we later had our own Ellen announce that she was replacing Paula). We hope you enjoy this short video on life at TeleNav and if you want to see more, you can view some fun pictures of BBQs, team outings and other events at TeleNav here. Now go enter that contest!
