Also the New Mapquest Navigator 5 is excellent, right up the ranks with Telenev.
But as with Telenav it's also a pay per month service. Both have free trials.

I personally have switched from Telenav to Mapquest and this is why, Mapquest downloads your routing info onto your phone and stores it while enroute. If you happen into an area that does not have data service, you still have your map as long as you stay on the routed path (or close proximity of, as it downloads a "corridor" of information). Telenav does not do this, it needs data access at all times for the maps. This is why I am a convert, the programs are very close in their functions so it comes down to a matter of preference, and the downloaded info was the deciding factor for me.
