TeleNav's New "Drive" Button Lets You Add Free, Spoken Turn-by-Turn Directions to Mobile Sites

It's long been possible to add a link to online maps directions from a website or mobile site, but TeleNav takes this type of service to a higher level of utility and convenience with its new Scout Drive button. With TeleNav Scout Drive, a business owner (or anyone wanting to place directions on a website or mobile site) may simply go the Drive site, enter an address, then place a provided code snippet on their site. A Drive button appears on the site, and a single click brings up voice-guided turn-by-directions on a smartphone, or non-voice-guided directions and a map on a desktop computer or laptop. The smartphone-friendly feature, and voice guidance set the Drive button apart. "Mobile users can click the button from their phone and navigation will start from their mobile browser, without the need for a separate GPS navigation or mapping app," states TeleNav. Image © TeleNav
