Any Recommendations for Spoken Turn by Turn Navigation?
- I just changed from a BB9700 (T-Mobile) to a BB9810 (still T-Mobile). I was using TeleNav just great until the switch-over...
Anybody have any suggestions for a spoken turn by turn navigation app?
Thanks.11-15-11 06:48 PMLike 0 -
I'll take a look at the BBTraffic Beta 3.0.
Thanks for the help.11-15-11 07:05 PMLike 0 -

- I love this new BlackBerry Traffic. It has been spot on in giving directions. The voice commands are clear and loud and so far, no bugs.hubermania likes this.11-16-11 09:52 AMLike 1
- BB Traffic was always very good in my family for written directions. Now with spoken directions the app is even better than ever. Some quirks of pronunciation but still a wonder at the price (free).hubermania likes this.11-16-11 10:00 AMLike 1
- I downloaded BBT3 from Beta Zone this morning and used it. It's not bad. I even like the search option. The GPS and search were the two items I liked on the HTC Sensation (utilizing google of course). So I'm very happy with this new addition to BB. It will be nice when they finally release it.11-16-11 11:16 AMLike 0

- Cheeky, try resending service books then a battery pull. I got my T-Mo 9810 this week and it came with an icon to install Telenav.
Edit: the Telenav icon invokes this URL:

- Thanks...looks like Tmo is the same. I'll wait until Garmin comes out on 7.0...fingers crossed. For now I'll stick with BBT3. I used it yesterday and it literally dropped me off in front of my house which is in a condo community. I was impressed. But, I don't like how there is no directional map on it. It's just voice directional. I'm used to looking where my car is going on a map and I like that. (Unless I haven't figured out how to get the map)11-18-11 06:31 AMLike 0

Yes, it has been updated to work on OS7, but it seems less sensitive in picking up satellites before you go outside. You can select either BB Maps or Google Maps for mapping.11-18-11 10:04 AMLike 0 - It gives me directions through my BlueAnt S4. Perhaps your headset needs A2DP for it to work? I'm just guessing though.11-18-11 10:39 AMLike 0
- That's probably part of it, but there's variation. Slacker Radio redirects to BT if it detects it's on, no matter whether the headset has A2DP or not. LifeInPocket's turn by turn strictly uses the phone's speaker, no BT with or without A2DP.11-18-11 11:19 AMLike 0
- That seems to be the case. My Plantronics Discovery 975 (not A2DP) gets ignored by BBT3, but it uses my Plantronics Voyager Pro+ (is A2DP). And, in case the latter is of interest, note the +. The Voyager Pro is not A2DP, but the Voyager Pro+ is.11-19-11 02:29 AMLike 0

I have posted a request in beta zone feedback for the released version to not require A2DP for BT - we'll have to wait and see - I really don't want to buy two new Voyager Pro+ devices just for this feature . . .11-19-11 09:52 AMLike 0 - Thanks everyone for the input - yes, kraski, A2DP must be the key - I have two Voyager Pros - neither of them work with BBT3.

I would suspect that Slacker (and some Android apps I've used in the past) probably direct audio wherever the phone does. So, the code for doing that would be handy in BBT 3. But I'm thinking that ought to be optional, if the code doesn't bloat BBT too much. If I'm alone, going to BT is great. If I'm driving with someone "navigating" or I'm the passenger, speaker is probably better.11-19-11 12:18 PMLike 0
