Little Rock, Ark. and Santa Clara, CA – Dec. 7, 2006 – Alltel Wireless customers can now throw out the printed maps and directions they typically used for holiday travel. Starting today, Alltel customers have those directions at their fingertips with the launch of TeleNav, Inc.’s TeleNav GPS Navigator™. Alltel customers can now experience the convenience and efficiency of turn-by-turn navigation via their mobile device. Initially available on the BlackBerry 8703e and the Samsung u520, TeleNav GPS Navigator provides customers with access to 3D “bird’s eye view” moving maps, voice and on-screen directions, information and directions to more than 10 million business listings (including gas prices and Wi-Fi hotspots) and pedestrian mode for use while walking.

“This innovative application offers another way for our customers to control their wireless experience. We are thrilled to team with TeleNav to offer this functionality in time for the busy travel season,” said Scott Moody, director of data services for Alltel Wireless.

Features of TeleNav GPS Navigator
· Voice and on-screen turn-by-turn directions – As you drive, you will get up-to-the minute guidance from an easily understood human voice. Receive automatic re-routing directions if you miss a turn. Users can also preview their routes before they begin driving and specify preferences including highways and streets.

· Biz Finder – Find businesses and services, including Wi-Fi hotspots, ATMs, restaurants, hotels, parking lots and shopping malls. Then easily navigate to them with the click of a button. Biz Finder also allows users to quickly look up and call the phone number for a business, saving money on unnecessary 411 directory calls.

· Fuel Finder – Save money by finding the lowest gas prices within a five-mile or wider radius.

· Full color moving maps – See colorful maps of specific GPS locations and pan and zoom the map to view the surrounding streets.

· Easy destination entry – TeleNav GPS Navigator provides three methods for address entry – preplan your trips on www.telenav.com, type in your destinations directly into your phone using the keypad, or dictate your destination using TeleNav’s unique voice recognition address input system.

· Automatic map updates – Never worry about updating new map information or having to pay for updates – TeleNav provides this to its customers automatically and at no additional charge.

· Spot Marker – Easily find your car wherever you park it, such as in a large parking lot or on an unfamiliar downtown street.

· My Favorites – Save multiple addresses for easy access later.
