Just as the HTC Thunderbolt has been launched, TeleNav has announced that their turn-by-turn navigation application is free for all big red customers to download. Folks on other carriers need not fret as you likely already have some form of TeleNav preinstalled on your device. (If you haven’t rooted and flashed a custom ROM, that is.) Here is a list of features you can expect:

• Turn-by-turn 3D navigation with spoken driving directions – by a person, not a robot
• Choose the best route for you using Multiple Route Suggestions, which suggests up to 3 different routes to your destination
• Customize your route to avoid toll roads or traffic congestion
• Lost or need to find a specific type of place near you? You can use Navigation by TeleNav to do a local search a database of over 22 million local business, restaurants, landmarks, and more

The free version is a bit stripped compared to the premium version, though. If you pay, you’ll get helpful features such as routing around heavy traffic, red light camera and speed trap alerts, lane assist and much more. Thankfully, that version is now half-off from its usual $39.99 price point until March 31st. (That’s a yearly recurring charge, by the way.)
