With Telenav 5.1.16 I see no GPS lag at all, with Sprint Navigation 2.1.10 the symbol for my car was always behind where I actually was, GPS lag.

The graphics in Telenav are much sharper, look at the edges of the lines in the graphics, much smoother curves, better sized for a VGA screen. Telenav also has bigger buttons. In Telenav, when you've selected a destination and that countdown button comes up, which can be pressed to just make it start right away, the button is much larger. In Sprint Navigation that button is too small and there are others like that in some other areas. Also, in Telenav, a white line appears in the road map when coming to turns. It just helps me a little, especially with certain highway exits that have several close turnoffs. The white line at those points just helps me more clearly see where to turn.
