TeleNav Shotgun review

 

TeleNav Shotgun

The TeleNav Shotgun offers Internet connectivity via cellular network to provide real-time traffic data, current maps, current gas prices, and more. The GPS features a slim design, bright touch-screen, and text-to-speech functionality.

The Shotgun was slow with route recalculations, and satellite acquisition also took some time. The TeleNav Connected Service is a bit limited at this time, and search results don't always make sense.

The TeleNav Shotgun's Internet connectivity brings dynamic content to the driver, but the functionality is a bit limited at this time, and the GPS needs to work out some performance issues before we give it co-pilot duties.

TeleNav Shotgun

 

With its built-in cellular radio, this GPS device offers live traffic and fuel prices, but it could do so much more.

Lacks many of the features found in competing non-connected devices, such as lane preview, reality view, and multisegment routing.

The Drive To menu also has all of the standard destination options you'd expect. You can create a route to an address, an intersection, a business, a city, or a recent place, or you can choose from your saved favorites. You can even map to airports by...

TeleNav is sure trying hard to make an impression with their Shotgun GPS. The main attraction here is the internet connection and getting constant updates, such as where can I find the cheapest gas nearby..etc. It's pricy and it's missing …

TeleNav Shotgun Review

 

TeleNav is already an established leader in cell phone based GPS navigation software, and now the company is releasing its first standalone GPS, the Shotgun. Aimed squarely at business travelers, the Shotgun offers up Internet-connected features aimed...

Has Some Neat Business Traveler Friendly Features, But Falls Short On Basic GPS Functionality and Ease of Use. Costly Subscription Fees.
