Demo: Sprint Navigation on the HTC EVO 4G

[BCDuma]

Haha, we do do.

[dannysauer]

Sprint Navigation is probably the one feature that keeps me with Sprint - I use it all the time. However, I'm disappointed that you didn't leave it recording to hear it telling you that you're off-route when you pull into the parking lot. ;)

THUMBS UP FOR HTC EVO 4G

[TheNyCsound]

great video ..quick question how does this navi compare to a garmin/tom tom gps? and can you hook up a blue-tooth earpiece so you hear the turn by turn through your bt ear piece ? thanks in advance

[GadgetzoneTV]

I have tried this nav a few times, it actually works good

[UNI20107]

I love my EVO!!

[mechan9]

You have to be in an area of data coverage for this to work, right?

[latino30ful]

nice phone...

[craziestgapeach]

awesome video you did really good.

[worldted]

Used the GPS feature on the Evo today for the first time (actually, first time using GPS, period!), and it worked like a proverbial charm. Great feature, terrific phone.

[GodKing804]

What is the brand of your windshield mount? I want it.

[telenav]

@GodKing804 The company that makes that mount is called Arkon. More info can be found at Arkon.com. :)

[Lkr721993]

thanks for this. you just sold me on sprint, I've wanted GPS for a while, and this just seals it for me

[willdex01]

Dude, this phone is great. On a side note, the recording camera is incredible, too. I took off my earphones to make sure the GOS woman isn't talking behind me!

[UncleBodyguard671]

that phone will overheat in the sun man

[Uridien]

Okay, you EVO loads Sprint Navigation hella faster than mine does! What's up with that? Sometimes I push well over 30 seconds to get past the initial loading time. And even your directions loaded faster. Curious ....

[DConrad2010]

One quick question. What happens if someone tries to call you while navigating? Does the navigation still navigates or does your call cut in?

[DJMotorola]

I just love the Sprint Navigation. Been using it since the original Samsung Instinct came out. Nice one!

[telenav]

@DJMotorola Thanks for the kudos! :)

[mholdr]

so is the NAV feature something I have to pay extra for monthly?

[telenav]

@mholdr Nope. Sprint Navigation is bundled into Sprint's Everything Plans.

[Amiroxor]

excellent

[lonestarn]

@telenav how did you get the evo with the red speaker

[telenav]

@lonestarn That was actually a demo unit, not a public model.

[lonestarn]

@telenav Oh thanks you, it looks really nice with the red but silver looks fine too

[dannypp1]

Does this have anything like that awesome "car home" thing the N1 has?

[pureviett]

cool sunnyvale, too bad they dont have 4G there, do you have any clue when they are going to implement 4g in the bay area?

[AllCityUnit]

does the navigation show the speed limit of each street your on?

THX for the review.

[radiusmax]

What is the great looking car mount used for the HTC EVO?

[telenav]

@radiusmax That mount is created by a company called Arkon and I believe it sells for aroundd $20. You can find out more at arkon.com. :)

[radiusmax]

Does anyone know the model of the car mount used in this video?

[LEMONedOblaat]

What mount is that? I'm going to be buying an evo when it comes out and have been looking for some decent accessories to purchase with it but the overall size of the phone has deterred me from making early accessory purchases. Excellent video btw.

[telenav]

@LEMONedOblaat Thanks for the question! Unfortunately, I don't know what the specific model is but it's made by a company called Arkon. Check out arkon.com for more info.

[zajoerg]

"Thats on Sprint uh obviously!" Haha

[MoneyMakerRayRay]

Does anybody know how the speaker quality is? Is it Good like the Motorola droid, or Droid Incredible or is it low like the Nexus one? Also does it have signal related issues like the Droid Incredible?

[hasse1]

Where did you get that mount from?

[splicitysplat]

@hasse1 if it isnt already for sale it will be, It was advertised as an accessory.

[telenav]

@hasse1 Thanks for the question! The mount is made by Arkon and sells for around $20. Check out arkon.com for more info. :)

[garciaop1015]

what about listening to music while using the navigator does it work as well as on the pre or is it really bad as it is on blackberrys that when nav gives you directions music stops completly ???

[telenav]

@garciaop1015 Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, currently it doesn't currently support simultaneous music/navigation. With that said, I will gladly take your feedback to our team and let them know your interest! Please let me know if you have any other questions: kenjio@telenav.com. :)

[steb0ne]

Yeah... I love TeleNav... been using it since my old Nextel days. Keep up the good work!!!

[telenav]

@steb0ne Thanks! We'll do our best! ^Kenji

[twinstar008]

@ 1:34 thank you for turning off the f'in blinker!

[twinstar008]

turn off your blinker dude. click click, click click, click click

[telenav]

@twinstar008 LOL! I was wondering if anyone was going to notice that. Apparently someone did. ;)

[MrDance210]

Wait hosed you get the evo with a red speaker the ones I've seen have grey

[R3APER24]

@MrDance210 Early model

[MoneyMakerRayRay]

@MrDance210 That Evo was a Demo unit, wasn't official yet. Sprint decided to take out the red and put silver instead. I guess because they didn't want to seem like its on verizon or looks like the incredible.

[starwarsandpie]

I like this, but I prefer google navigation. It's a lot smoother than sprint nav, and unlike NSXLA down there, I can understand them both lol. So having two navs are better than on definitely. Great stuff telenav.

[964mula]

awsome! i saw a video where the HTC incredible's screen was unresponsive while on a gps mount. Something about the grounding that made the screen unresponsive. Is it the same with the EVO? does the phone's touchscreen become unresponsive to your finger if it is on the mount. I could probably see a reason why it didnt, since the gps guide is "handsfree" but just curious. Thanks for the video, I cant wait to get mine on the 4th!

[NSXLA]

I prefer Sprint Nav over google maps because the VOICE is more understandable + it checks traffic for your automatically and can reroute - great app! thanks Telenav!

[telenav]

@NSXLA Your welcome! :)
