Sprint Navigation 2.8 where?

I just noticed that the latest version of Sprint Navigation for the Touch Pro 2 is 2.8. However, the version on my phone (included with the update to WM 6.5) is 2.1.42, and I cannot find the download for 2.8. Where is it?

Usually the program will offer the update itself. I found a 2.8 cab update from Telenav, but it didnt list the Touch Pro 2 as a compatible device. Only the Touch pro. I downloaded it and ran it on mine figuring their not too much different.

It took a couple attempts to get it started, but on the third try it finally booted up and logged in. When it loads, the main menu at the top says "Sprint Navigation Lite".

Ive attached it to this message if you want to give it a try. GL

If you are ok, try the bing cab here its free and pretty good and has every thing like a garmin navi device.

Remember, please, that Sprint Nav and TeleNav are not the same thing.

I hate to dispute you, but "Sprint Navigation powered by TeleNav" kinda says differently.

(Yes i know its an android screenshot, I didnt feel like making a screenshot off my device.)

and from http://navigation.sprint.com/snweb/

That and the Sprint Navigation OTA updates come from

http://ota.telenav.com/ota/sn/nav

In fact OP, if you dont want to download the cab I attached, go to that URL on your device and see if it will autodetect and give you the cab directly.

Sprint Nav is just the sprint specific customized and branded version of Telnav.

Yes, true. You even download the Sprint Telenav app from the Telenav site.
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.
