notes: >-
  Telenav publishes no OpenAPI, so this profile is captured from the Entity
  Service REST documentation rather than derived from securitySchemes. The
  API uses a Telenav-assigned API key plus a per-request HMAC-style API
  signature; credentials are provisioned to automotive partners (a free
  six-month trial key/secret for the EU region is distributed through the
  Telenav/nav-sdk-demo GitHub repository).
