Just went there and it looks like the official new version for the Sprint TP2 is version 5.5.
See here: http://www.telenav.com/products/tn/d.../sprint.html#1
OTA update from your TP2 go here: http://ota.telenav.com/ota/sn

I downloaded 5.5 and attached it below.

I haven't a clue on who's correct lol, but it seems from looking into the core's of the cabs that 5.5 was last updated in Oct 09 & 2.8 was updated in April 2010. I must assume that 2.8 is the newest version to use.

Just my speculation here lol..!

Yea, it looks that way. According to Sprint 2.8 is the latest SPRINT branded Telenav. According to Telenav, 5.5 is the latest NON Sprint branded Telenav version for the Touch Pro 2.
However I do prefer 5.5 only because the Speak it option allows you to talk directly into your device for text to speech, unlike 2.8 which calls a number first to use the speak it option.
Heres the list of current versions from Sprints site:

Yea good call on that one, the calling a number first is definately annoying.!

either way, you guys helped me out considerably.
i have used sprint nav for several years, and never had a problem with it.
i have used it dozens of times, but obviously those were all daytime trips cuz i noticed this weekend driving from arkansas to north dakota that the 2.1.x versions do not have a night mode and the white maps create quite a bit of glare.
arrived at my destination, got on ppcg to bitch, and bam, this post.
updated to 2.8 and nightmode is in the genaral options.
should make the drive home a little more convenient.

can someone verify if the 5.5 telnav has a nightmode?

also...i went to the OTA and it did automatically begin the 2.8 download.
however, now 2.1 and 2.8 are both installed and neither are in the uninstall app list...
any suggestions??

gets the regular TeleNav. It has 5.5.24 for the HTC Rhodium (the Touch Pro 2), and nothing at all for the Samsung Intercept.

is the hyperlink specific to Sprint Navigation. It has 2.8.0.18 for the HTC Rhodium (Touch Pro 2), and 2.8 for the Samsung SPH-M910 (Intercept).

calling to speak info is such a waste of time. can't stand it! i have started to use bing and think that it's a wonderful alternative to sprintnav.

I actually kind of like calling in, seems to be better speech recognition and it gets the right address every time.

but that's just my opinion

Thanks for all the helpful comments on here!

I have used IGo (bought some time ago for a PDA), Bing, Google Maps and Sprint.

IGo is the best for long trips, as long as the maps are somewhat up to date.

However, Bing is my overall favorite. It does have some silly routing issues sometimes. But it's always up to date, it's got a very useful turn-by-turn navigation (beats Google for WM), best speech recognition.

Sprint Nav is laggy and it has problems with voice volume, at least the stock one.
