vz navigator?
I couldnt ask for more in a GPS device.
Please realize that VZNavigator IS NOT using the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system. It is triangulating your position using the three nearest CDMA cellular towers. No satellites - no GPS.
Sorry to let you know, but VZ uses aGPS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGPS. So VZNavigator IS using the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system along with CDMA triangulation, making it a more faster and accurate system. Definitely worth one of the most useful wireless application out!

VZ NAV is great. It is GPS +. That plus is it is a Yellow Pages lookup.
In VA and want to look up Suzies seafood? Try Magellan or any other GPS. Try drilling Travel > Food & Entertainment > Dining > Restaurants > Seafood, etc. and you won't find it.
Not with VZ NAV. You will be within, say 12.1 miles and be guided all of the way.
In all fairness, VZ isn't the only company with this kind of app. Sprextel has one as well via Trimble I think and I wouldn't be surprised if Alltel has one as well. AT&T & T-mob don't have to have GPS chips in the pho...

While sprint does offer a simuliar app, I hear its no where near as good or as detailed (ie listing of business and residential areas)
I just had to recertify that training this morning... 🙄
Try it out, you will not be disapointed
Some of the places I knew how to get to, but not easily. This gets me where I'm going.
