Press Release Summary: TeleNav identifies top reasons American drivers run late.


Press Release Body: Sunnyvale, Calif. - December 7, 2007 - With increased road
congestion and the fast pace of today\'s American lifestyle, arriving late is a
growing problem that could be alleviated with the use of GPS navigation services,
concludes TeleNav following a recent online consumer poll.

The nearly 430 poll respondents cited the following reasons most often when arriving
late to their destination:
- Traffic (74%)
- Poor directions (8%)
- Road construction (8%)
- Unable to find a parking structure (6%)
- Needed gas (4%)

In addition, CareerBuilder.com recently disclosed that 16% of workers arrive late to
work at least once a week, and 31% attributed their delayed arrivals to traffic(1).

Further results from TeleNav\'s survey reveal that 35% of respondents would like to
receive a GPS navigation service on their cell phone as a gift this holiday season.
The Consumer Electronics Association also identified that 33% of future GPS buyers
are interested in owning a cell phone that has GPS / navigation capabilities(2).

\"With today\'s advanced cell phone technology, arriving late should become less and
less of an issue,\" said HP Jin, TeleNav president, CEO and co-founder. \"Services
like GPS navigation can help in every day situations and reduce stress for people
on-the-go.\"

GPS applications on cell phones have the advantage of a wireless network connection
that provides access to real-time information, including traffic alerts and
rerouting, as well as up-to-date maps and directions. Mobile location-based services
can also quickly access databases that provide listings for important places like
gas stations and parking structures.

TeleNav offers TeleNav GPS Navigator(tm), a cell phone navigation service that
provides voice and on-screen turn-by-turn directions. The most recent version
includes new social-networking features such as location sharing as well as provides
traffic alerts with one-click rerouting. To learn more about TeleNav GPS Navigator,
