How do I install Telenav instead of Sprint Navigation?

[muzicman82]

Hello,

I'm interested in installing Telenav for Windows Mobile instead of Sprint Navigation. I know they're technically the same thing, but Telenav looks prettier.

Anyways, I'm on a Sprint Touch Pro running Windows Mobile 6.5.

I went to http://ota.telenav.com/ota/sn/ on my phone to download. I downloaded the CAB for the HTC Mongul. It downloaded and installed successfully, but when I try to log in, it says "Your account has expired." My Sprint Navigation worked yesterday before I put WM6.5 on.

Any ideas on this? I thought I remember some other posts saying that others have just installed Telenav and it just works.

Or should I be using a different CAB file?

You can grab one of the telenav cabs around the site.

You'll have to go to telenav's site and get a PIN.

You get a one month free trial... past that, it's an additional $9.9something a month. Sprint Navigation is NOT the same thing! Telenav is a separate add-on to your plan.

Hmm, that's ashame. They're both identical as far as service goes, correct?

I did get a pin from Sprint Navigation, and when I go to My Telenav, I can login with it, and all of my contacts and favorites show up that were on my Sprint Navigation.

Oh, well, I guess I'll just install Sprint Nav.

unless it is free to you I suggest you try Mapquest Nav, much better than telenav and 50 bucks a year....includes night mode

I just downloaded telenav and i am able to login to the server using my code (4 digit number PIN). The only thing thats weird it keeps asking for a bleutooth GPS receiver.....i have to call telenav and see whats up with that.....but other then that you can use it.
Any questions make sure that you call Tech Support and not CService @ sprint.

PS: the version that i downloaded is for the mogul and not the touch pro as posted below by Nxtech3 so it was asking for that retarded GPS receiver.....

A quick search brought me to this post: Thanks to Flyer2114

Yes they are 100% the same when it comes to service. Telenav just looks better and costs extra per month, which I think is pretty dumb.

That is true but if you have the sprint nav in your plan it doesn't cost anything.....use the link that Nxtech3 posted (ty for that) and download it to your PPC. As long as you have your PIN number you are good to go.

Any way I can get the new version 5.2 on a Sprint Touch Pro?

telnav doesnt cost anything if you have your sprint pin.
I used it for awhile, switched back to sprint though cuz it is way better.
Minus the look =P

EDIT: I didnt use the non sprint version for over a month, so I could be wrong about not having to pay extra.
