The guys over at TeleNav have been generously provided BBBNews with 3 full year subscriptions to be used for a contest/giveaway to 3 lucky winners.  First, let’s talk about what TeleNav is for those who do not know already.

TeleNav is a GPS application for a variety of phones, and is more commonly known as AT&T Navigator or Sprint Nav. TeleNav is supported on numerous devices, and with a click of a button that wireless device becomes a full feature GPS.

I personally use TeleNav and it has saved me in a crunch, time and time again.

Here are some specs straight from TeleNav:

TeleNav Talks. You Drive.

Enjoy premium GPS navigation right on your cell phone.

• Get turn-by-turn driving directions by voice and onscreen. If you miss a turn TeleNav will automatically reroute you.
• Find whatever you need wherever you are. Locate, call or navigate to rated and reviewed restaurants, hotels, ATMs, Wi-Fi hotspots and more from a directory of over 10 million businesses. No more expensive 411 calls.
• Avoid traffic jams with real-time traffic alerts and intelligent rerouting.
• Pre-plan trips online at My TeleNav. And by downloading an Internet browser plugin you can easily save addresses from any Web page to your phone.
• Get automated updates of full-color 3D maps and business listings
