Get one year of TeleNav GPS Navigator for Android for the price of 7 months

It was just about a year ago that I posted my review of TeleNav GPS Navigator for the Google Android platform. At that time you could purchase it for $9.99 per month and I have heard numerous people say they did not want a monthly subscription fee for GPS navigation and mapping even though there were some premium features available and always updated maps. I am currently taking part in a new program with TeleNav, called Waypoint, where they brought in about 20 people from around the smartphone and connected platform community to provide feedback on their current and future products. While speaking with a TeleNav rep last night, I learned that TeleNav GPS Navigator is available in the Android Market for $69.99 for a one year subscription. This is a HUGE savings over the previous $9.99/month fee and gives people an option without recurring payments.

I personally saw value in the monthly fee because I don't always need GPS navigation and with a monthly subscription you have the flexibility to turn it on during heavy travel months and turn it off when not needed. However, at the $69.99 yearly price you are really only paying for 7 months and getting 5 months free so it is the best option for most people.
