TeleNav GPS app launching for iPhone 4 on Verizon

TeleNav has announced that its TeleNav GPS app will be available on the Apple App Store as a free download for the Verizon iPhone 4 upon certification and folks who download it will receive free maps and local search capabilities, along with free access to advanced navigation features, such as spoken turn-by-turn directions and 3D moving maps for the first 30 days after download. After the 30-day trial period is up, users will need to shell out $2.99 per month or $21.99 per year to continue using the advanced navigation features, or continue to use the GPS map and local search capabilities for free.

The app offers some useful features to simplify its usage, such as a Shake-to-Go feature that will automatically route the destination to their home address when you shake the phone. TeleNav GPS is also able to connect to contacts stored in the phone. Folks are currently able to sign up to receive an alert to notify them when the app is available for download.

2D and 3D moving maps are also included, allowing users to see their current location and nearby streets with accurate, moving maps that can be viewed in 2D or 3D and also be zoomed. Since it’s an iOS app, it’s also important to note that it offers support for iOS multi-tasking, allowing users to use other iPhone apps while the TeleNav GPS app is still running in the background. If you’re a music buff, iPod controls are already built-in, so you’ll be able to fiddle with your favorite songs will navigating around the city. Video after the jump.
