Telenav Scout for Apps comes to Android and Windows Phone, Scout Drive Button released for website-based nav

[![Telenav Scout for Apps comes to Android and Windows Phone, Scout Drive Button widget released for websitebased nav][1] ][2]

iOS app devs got Telenav turn-by-turn navigation access in March of this year, and now the same can be said for folks programming for Android and Windows Phone. In case you forgot, the [Scout for Apps][3] platform allows developers to incorporate Scout's personalized navigation directly into their applications. Not only that, but Telenav's making it easier for website owners to do the same for their websites with the release of the Scout Drive Button. The button puts the power of [browser-based GPS mapping][4] in an easy-to-implement widget, for free, with no coding expertise required. It also allows users to click the Drive button in their desktop browser to send a link to their phones that'll launch navigation directly, as opposed to inputting the address into a nav app manually. Interested? More info awaits after the break, and devs can get down and dirty with both Scout for Apps and the Drive widget at the sources below.
