iPhone owners on AT&T's network have now the possibility to enjoy an enhanced software solution on their devices, coming straight from TeleNav in the form of AT&T Navigator v1.5i. According to the company, there are a series of new features available for the owners of an iPhone that will offer them a more enjoyable navigation experience.

[ADMARk=1]Among the improvements that the new AT&T Navigator v1.5i for the iPhone includes, we can count a new unique feature dubbed Shake-to-Go, which enables users to shake the iPhone while using the AT&T Navigator so as to be rerouted to a location previously set as the home address. Basically, this means that one would be able to go home from any location through simply shaking the device.

Other enhancements included in the AT&T Navigator v1.5i would be: - Speed Limit Display & Alerts: Navigation screen includes speed limit information and provides visual and audio alerts if the limit is exceeded - Last Trip Origin: Once a trip is completed, users can easily return to the origin of their last trip by accessing the “Recent Places” menu - Nighttime Maps: The brightness levels of map screens are adjusted for nighttime driving for easier viewing - Improved Route Avoidance Options: Drivers may now choose to avoid routes that make use of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes or choose to avoid routes that include toll roads - Improved Pedestrian Mode: Users will be able to clearly identify when they are navigating in pedestrian mode with the introduction of a new pedestrian icon on the map screen

In addition to announcing the new version of AT&T Navigator on the iPhone, TeleNav also provides a video demonstration of the software solution, so as to offer users a glimpse of what's new for them. Those who already use AT&T Navigator on their iPhone will be able to easily download it from the App Store, where it is available for $9.99 a month or for $69.99 a year.
