    TeleNav has GPS navigation software for Windows Mobile, Palm, BlackBerry, and their own Shotgun device. Their software is feature packed and streams live maps and traffic over the air. They announced that their software has now come to the Google Android OS on the T-Mobile G1. The TeleNav GPS Navigator software runs very well and gives you the ability to send destinations to the device, setup commute alerts and much more.
