573 TeleNav has launched hybrid navigation technology which can provide premium turn-by-turn navigation and local search capabilities by either using real-time data sent to the phone over the wireless network or data that has been cached on the device. Applications incorporating the technology will automatically switch between the two navigation methods as needed to ensure users are never without access to local search and spoken turn-by-turn directions, whether they are in or out of wireless coverage. "While other navigation apps tend to be developed solely around technology, we focus first on understanding how people use mobile navigation and deliver our technology and services based on their feedback," said Sal Dhanani, co-founder and vice president of products for TeleNav. "This hybrid approach is a clear example of our commitment to this philosophy.”
