Verizon Launches Updated VZ Navigator
Nothing like paying $2.99 for daily access, and $9.99 for monthly access when Google Maps and Windows Live Services provides the stuff for free. Oh wait, Verizon has their GPS locked down that ONLY works with VZ Navigator. Now I get it...
Anyway, in a press release today...
Verizon Wireless, builder and operator of the nation’s most reliable wireless network, announced today that VZ Navigator(SM) (Version 4) is now available on select consumer phones. First announced during CTIA WIRELESS 2008, the newest version of VZ Navigator allows customers in 75 cities from coast to coast to access information about traffic incidents on major roadways, obtain traffic updates and find detours around traffic congestion and accidents. More cities are expected to be added in the coming year. In addition, the new version of VZ Navigator offers a 3D perspective view of maps, a movie and events finder, weather reports and forecasts, and gas prices at nearby gas stations.
