TeleNav GPS navigator is now available on two more of Cingular's devices, Nokia E62 and Treo 680. The software package will cost you $6 for 10 trips and $10 for unlimited use and offers pretty much the same navigational features as the rest of Cingular 's TeleNav capable devices such as the Palm Treo 650 or the HP hw6925 .

Nokia E62 's TeleNav software will have new features. One of these new features, called 'Fuzzy Search', completes user entries according to commonly-used locations on previous searches and automatically corrects spelling errors. 3D maps have also been included for the first time.

Using TeleNav on any of these two devices, the users will receive turn-by-turn directions while driving, be able to see their actual location and the streets he is approaching, and also pan and zoom the map to view surrounding streets.

"Nokia developed the E62 to meet customers' business and personal needs," said Antti Vasara, senior vice president, Mobile Devices, Enterprise Solutions, Nokia. "TeleNav GPS Navigator is a solution which adds value while on business travel or simply getting directions to a friend's house on the weekend. This easy-to-use service can have a dramatic impact on our customers' daily lives and it's yet another reason for people to fall in love with the Nokia E62 device."

Although the Treo 680 doesn't have the Fuzzy Search feature and the 3D maps, Treo 680 users will have access to the other TeleNav features including Biz Finder, Fuel Finder, Spot Marker or Pedestrian Mode and will have to hope for a newer version that will possibly provide these features as well.
